Thursday, March 29 (2 days from now) at 11 AM we will be cranking down, then over Kappy’s (WA4WTG) tower
so that I can add the pieces that need replacing after damage from Hurricane Irma. 

I have all the parts and pop rivets and drill motor, etc.  It will probably take about an hour...

What I need is some people to help crank the tower over, replace part of the antenna, then crank the tower up to rotate it 180 degrees to then lower the tower to add one more element to the other end of the antenna and then crank it back up again   PHEW !  Lots of cranking !  Go to bed late and wake up cranky !

If you can come to help please let me know... the antenna part is easy, the cranking is hard, but shared by many hands, not such a project. 

If we can find it in his garage, we will then put up a 40 meter wire dipole on the rope and pulley already installed on the tower.  

Kappy, being 94 years young, cannot help...  

He is located at 718 SE 3rd Lane, Dania Beach a bit east of Federal Hwy and between Sterling and Sheridan. 

Thanks and 73,

PS:  for those of you (Randy, Neil, John, RIch) who said you would help, this is a reminder of the day and time.   -  73
