[FARC] Antenna Raising Ground crew needed

[Dick, WN3R]

Today was a bust.  Don Daso built and modified the MonstIR in the rain
for days on end. He started last Wednesday when we brought the old
antenna down. It was sunny today, but way too windy to even think about
raising the antenna.  We did raise it about 40 feet above the ground
just to check SWR, etc.

The crane was also helpful in raising the antenna enough to fine tune
all the turnbuckles.

We are going to try again Saturday morning (May 3rd) around 9am.

So if you want to help, please send me an email, wn3r at arrl.net .  We
need at least 4 people.  If you want to watch a huge crane pick up and
MonstIR and move it gently into place without knocking over the other
antennas on top of the 120' tower, please come.

If the weather is too bad or too windy, we will know by Friday
afternoon. So if you want to check, call me at the number below.
