 ?   

This message is about Bob, K4WCV k4wcv at yahoo.com?
Bob is a legally blind Veteran ham. ?He?s the voice behind the 6m FM nets on 53.03 and 53.45. ?He needs someone with experience in installing towers to act as a project manager and help him finish his tower project.?It is a 48' TBX tower and the first section is already set in the cement base and cured.
Bob really needs help in planning/coordinating?the next steps.

Coordinate Volunteers (wife,brother-in-law, some ham friends)?in...
Installing the other sections.
Installing the mast and rotor.
Assembly and installation of the antenna. Cushcraft HF Beam MA6B, .
He?s got a list of other minor projects once the big part is done, but the rest is easy. ??
Bob has access to mobile bucket on weekends with a couple days notice. ?He?s got a relative who is not a tower climber or ham with this kind of equipment.?
Bob does not have any jin poles,pulleys or ropes.
Neither Bob or his relatives have experience with towers!

It would be nice to break this up unto phases for completion but that is up to the Project Manager.

Bob?s QTH is about 20 minutes north of i540 at Leesville Rd. ?He lives just south of the western end of Falls Lake. ?
Anybody have a clue about TBX free-standing towers? ?There are many people who would help. ?I can climb Rohn guyed towers and would help, but I don?t know anything about free-standing tower construction. ?
? Tadd, KA2DEW for Bob K4WCV ? ?? please email to Tadd at mac.com? ?or to k4wcv at yahoo.com ?if you can manage such a project. ?Even if you can?t climb anymore, your help will be appreciated if you can help with a plan.?

Anyone have a spare contest grade radio I might borrow for SS CW? My other K3 and the TS-590S are both at VP5 and SS is one contest I like to play SO2R. Not picky on brands but would prefer something that can stand up to pileup QRM. I?ll pick up and return.

Subject: [PVRCNC] Rohn 25 and tribanders
Message-ID: <CAPHnhcp3i4-Am64EseY5RrjxzNCXL5N_NMzdECsn3txGOtPqAQ@mail.gmail.com>

At the last meeting I mentioned that one of my work colleagues has some
tower and antennas that he wishes to dispose of. There are about 20
sections of Rohn 25 as well as 4-5 sections of another tower that looks in
construction to be similar to AB-105 but smaller. He also has a TH7DX and
an A4 tribander among a pile of other aluminum. He also has a couple of HF
rigs (FT-450, IC-706MkIIG) and an Ameritron AL-600.

He will eventually be moving out of country, at least most of the time,
thus the downsizing. His pricing is in line with a fire sale. If anyone is
interested in any, or all (would make him happy), let me know and I will
provide contact info. I don't want to inundate him with cold inquires.
Pickup around Apex.

73, Mike N4GU
