Hi all,
With the heavy rain from Hurricane Ian coming tonight to drench the area, we moved up the tower work to this morning. It's now complete, and the C3S is amazing at 55ft, and the M2 6M5X (5 el yagi) is at 60ft (and ready for DX season next spring).

Special thanks to those who helped and made this happen:
Tony K3TS
Ken KN2U
Bill W0MHK
Chris AD2CS
Charlie N2SRQ

SWR curves on the C3S are amazing!
20m -  1.1:1 low end of the band, up to 1.3:1 top of band
15m -   1.3:1 both ends of the band, 1:1 at 21.210
10m -  1.1:1 low end of the band, up to 2:1 at 28.8
About 6db forward gain on this antenna.
Low wind loading at slightly over 4sq ft.
Perfect for the military mast.
