What's needed for a radio room?

• External location for antenna support structure (tower) needs to be within about 100 feet of the radio room. Towers are usually mounted on the ground but it is possible to mount them on a roof with a bit more engineering work.
• The radio room should be relatively close to the tower base. A pathway for routing cables between the radio room and the tower base is required. In general, closer is better. Cable runs of up to 100 feet are good. Longer runs are OK, but more expensive cabling will be required.
• Good radio frequency and lightening protection earth ground. Bonding to the earth ground around most of our buildings should suffice.
• 110 Volt and 220 volt service sufficient for:

  Equipment	Electrical Supply	Dissipated Heat
  Computer	300 watts	300 watts
  Monitor	200 watts	200 watts
  HF Transceiver		100/2 watts
  HF power supply	250 watts	50 watts
  VHF Transceiver		50/2 watts
  HF Amplifier	3000 watts 220 VAC	1500/2 watts
  VHF power supply	125 watts	25 watts
  Lamps 2@60W	120 watts	120 watts
  People (3@180W???)		540 watts
  room lights	????	????
  TOTAL	3995 watts	2060 watts

• Air conditioning sufficient for above (note that I've halved the power dissipated by the radios because they will almost never exceed a 50% duty cycle for transmitting).
• Phone lines, data lines and phone
• Furniture (2 tables, 3 chairs, one bookshelf)
• Must be able to secure the room to prevent equipment from walking off.

1. Building 1 could be a good location if we can place a tower on the south side of the building. (I didn't get back there to see if this was possible.)
2. We've been told that Building 2 has no space, but the back of building 2 (the east side (nope, the southwest side 99-07-19)) might provide a good place for a tower (it's out of the way and has a fence around it).
3. Building 3 is not a candidate due to close proximity to the test floor and sensitive equipment in the device analysis lab.
4. Building 3B might work, but I've got no idea of what the future holds for that building. If we used building 3B, we could put the tower out in the empty field south and west of the building. This should get it far enough away from Building 3.
5. Building 4 (the admin building next to fab 25) has no "backside" where a tower could be safely placed and I understand the roofing material won't tolerate an antenna. Probably not a good choice.
6. Fab 25 - I have no idea what might or might not be possible here.
7. Building 312 already has a tower in place, but AMD does not own the building. This brings up the question of moving everything when the lease expires. I'd rather not go through this exercise twice!
8. Support buildings. There are several buildings that I don't know the names of that contain support equipment for the main buildings. If there is accessible space that meets our other requirements in one of these buildings, it would also work for us.
