[600MRG] Mast is up !

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi all:

It's took over 2 weeks but I finally have the best support mast I could do.. A 40 footer !! ( that's tall for me )..
My 2 sons came over and helped me hoist it into the air this evening.. I added 3 extra sets of pull up ropes
to accomadate extra antennas, AND, if a rope breaks over time ( which they do - thus this escipade )..
Now to allow for the rope stretching, doing tensioning to plumb it, and get a 35 foot vertical section in the air..
will be doing repairs to the top loading as I go along, and hopefully , this will stay in the air for a few years..
This little antenna raising took a lot of sap out of this old man ... hi - hi
