Many thanks to the 17 intrepid hams who came up to help replace the tower and put up the new Waller Flag/6 meter antenna, replace the rotor, and put in a 12 ft mast for the two antennas.
We almost got it all done, but just ran out of steam after 8-1/2 hours on the roof.
We plan to be up there Tomorrow, Sunday at 9 AM to finish the project.
If you have time to join us, I think that we can get it all done by lunch time...
We have to put up the TH-11 and then test the cables and permanently fix/adjust the shortened top guy cables ( phillystran)
Our big delay today was the time it took to dig the bottom of the tower out of 35 years of roofing tar to get to the bottom section bolts. A dirty job, but it got done.
No real mishaps, and only a little spilled blood.
Thanks again to everyone involved.
73, PeteR N8PR
