All the moreso when you stop to think, this thing was designed by one 
man, and put up solely By him and another ham one piece of steel at a time.
Some where I also have some photos of John welding the brackets on each 
leg of the tower before installation.

I don't know if obsolete is correct, but it certainly makes that big 
array of mine look insignificant.

Since it went up yesterday that page has had over 600 hits.

BTW that rotator weighed OVER one ton! How would you like to be standing 
on a cross brace, guiding that into position while it was being lowered 
by a GMC 4WD? <:-)) They had to raise it to the top of the base (120') 
and then down through the tower to its resting place at 100'.  Those two 
must have worked very well together.
I think I did mention in another post that there is a 7L 6-meter yagi in 
that mass of antennas. I think it's just about centrally located.
