Hi Craig,

will be.

Tower work is being planned to complete the installation of the replacement
440 antenna along with adjustments to the recently installed 2M antenna and
the mid tower backup antenna.

David Ehehalt, N2DAE, from Telco Communications is planning our climb for
one session on Friday or Saturday or Sunday morning The final date selection
will be based on weather forecasts and crew availability

The preferred time is Friday 8/23 from approximately 10 AM until 1 PM (more
or less) 1st Backup is Saturday 8/24 from 10 AM until 1 PM 2nd Backup is
Sunday 8/25 (times probably the same as the other dates but not definite -
may be later)

David needs 2-3 ground crew helpers in addition to his regular helper to
assist with hauling the antenna up the tower.  I will be one of the crew on
any of these days so I need commitments from at least 2 more folks that can
help with the work.  Please tell me which day you are committing for. Please
also provide any preferred contact information so we can adjust as the plans
may change at the last minute.

Please note this is not spectator stuff - this is hauling on the lift line
or helping with the guide line to keep the antenna from hitting other
objects during the lift.

You will need gloves and probably should have boots or strong shoes.  
I also recommend long pants due to some hidden poison ivy, and some
unforgiving brush up at the tower location.
You should bring a hard hat if you have one - there are some 'community'
hard hats up at the site if you don't have your own.

Please respond ASAP so that we can finalize the plans with David.

Regards and 73's
