Hey Guys,
I am looking for someone to hire to do my tower work this fall. I
have had a turn in my helth the last 30 days so climbing towers is out for
awhile until we can get things straighten out. I miss being on the air and
RTTY contesting.
Here's what I got cooking down south. My tower was cleaned off to the bare
stuucture in May of this year.
Here's what I would like to see happen is install the rotor plate, rotor,
rotor cable, thrush bushing, mast and ladder mast. Then when that is all
completed. Install 2 antennas. Hygain DB 12/17 and Optibeam 17-4. (Antennas
still in boxes) WB0MCO, WB0B, K0TJ will help me on getting the antennas put
together.
I am slowly working on getting the outdoor switch cabinet (damaged physical
and lightning) replaced with the new switches and cabling.
My tower is a 70 foot Rohn 65 with a set of guys I mean slopers (3/8" guy
strand) at 60 feet.
After 2 major lighnting storms that wiped 98% of my shack out and several
appliances in the house out I finally got all I needed to get back on the
air. (Haven't done that yet still sitting on the back porch in boxes.
Starting soon I'll get things in the shack. Not for sure if it hit the tower
or if it came in the power service.)
Any sugesstions let me know.
Thanks
wr0u
Scott
PS: Last time I got hit by lightning was in 1978 and it cut the wire into on
my Gem Quad on the 20 meter driven element. Nothing else.
