Post scrip:

Got final clamp on 3-inch diam crossboom of my eme "H-Frame" today. 
Tough job as standard clamping plate's holes were too close.  Finally 
found one with holes 1/8-inch wider spacing.  Fun working at top of 
10-foot stepladder reaching up to 13 foot.

these camp flanges are about 4-inch long by 1-inch wide made of 1/4-inch 
steel.  1/2-inch steel bolts are used.  Three of these clamps hold the 
entire eme array of four 21-foot long x-yagis and 12x12 foot H-Frame 
made of 3-inch alum sched-40 pipe with 2-inch aluminum riser legs that 
have 1.5 inch fiberglass end tubes.  A fair amount of dead weight and 
quite a bit of wind loading.

43F with 25mpoh wind makes for a chilly project.  Hopefully, Sunday & 
Monday are calmer and sunnier.

Next up will be the risers, then antennas.

Top two yagis will be about 19-foot above ground; lower two 7-foot. 
Once all is assembled and eight coax lines attached, the tower will be 
extended to 32-feet and array mounted on top using a boom truck.

eta end of October (hopefully).
