This supplements Pete's report.  On Saturday at least 19 of us:
(1) Dismantled the old tower
(2) Hauled the new tower sections up the side of the building
(3) Erected the new tower
(4) Assembled and hoisted the N4IS Med Freq receive /  6 m beam
(5) Tested the new antennas

On Sunday a somewhat smaller group:
(1) Hoisted the TH11 LP up the tower
(2) Re-assembled and secured the 160/80/40/30 dipoles
(3) Tested the all antennas.
(4) Don, N4TZH, home and mobile received "first RF" from K4FK on the new 6 m 
beam
(5) Tested all antennas
(6) Lowered the old tower sections and discarded all but the top section.
The old top section is available for the taking.

For now, the new N4IS Med Freq receive /  6 m beam system is configured
for Tx/Rx on 6 m only, through the 6 m antenna switch position.

To Do:
Install splitters at the tower base and in the shack for 6 m  and MF-Rx,
install 6 m pre-amp system, and configure the IC-756-pro-III to use the
separate receiver port for 80 and 160 m bands.
