Hi Guys and Gals, 

CALL FOR HELP and WHEN
I am soliciting help to move my SteppIR DB42 Antenna onto the mast of a Tashjian LM354HD Crank Up, Tilt Over Tower.. My Moving Date is Monday, Oct 20th, at 8:30am at my QTH. 

ANTENNA
The DB42 is a 5 element monobander on 6M through 20M and a 3 element 30M/40M beam, all on a 42 foot boom. Total Weight, including Tilt Plate is about 300 pounds.  

TASK
There should be NO heavy Lifting, as the boom will be lifted with a Chain Hoist, and placed on a Cart provided by Rick, W1GHF.. which I modified for the DB42 boom. 

The group task will be to manage the boom ends, and the antenna elements..as we make our way through the cactus  and other growth. Also manage the same during the lifting process to the tilted tower mast. 

The  Antenna will be moved about 15 feet from it current build location on a Pseudo Mast, to the Tower Mast.

The tower/antenna  will be raised on a later date,  after I have completed all remaining wiring and cabling, and adding dipole arms with Pulleys. 

PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF YOU PLAN TO HELP
Please advise if you can participate on Oct. 20th, at 8:30am for this move.  I am estimating it will take about 2 hours, or less. Wife Sharon plans a Brunch immediately thereafter.
