[Lowfer] Antenna progress for Beacon " XR "

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi all:

Well thankfully the WX is beginning to cool some now, allowing me to
be able to get outdoors in the evenings to try to finish constructing
my new antenna for the lowFER beacon. I for the most part finished the
top hat construction on Tues. evening, just a few " loose ends " to 
finish that part of the project. Shouldn't take another evening to
do that. Next comes the coupling of all the pipes together, adding
the guying hardware, and ropes, moving it into position, and 
" Hopefully " being able to raise it into position. As always, 
attempting this as a One Man project, because help is not always
available. Nothing ever goes as thought about, but hopefully it will
go up with very few complications along the way up.

If I can get the antenna up, and it performs to any reasonable 
expectation; I hope to try running some digital modes this season 
on 1750 meters for a little flavour.

Hoping everyone has a good day, 73 :
