I GOTTA get that rotator  finished, The 25G finished, AND the 7L Yagi up 
to 60' on it.  Getting it to 115' on the 45G may be a ways down the 
pike. At least I can climb the 40' of 25G with no problem.

Today was the local swap meet.  I was up by 6 AM and t here by 7  after 
3 hours of sleep.  Served as talk in station till about 11:30 and headed 
home. (I set the TM-D700 in the car to locked cross band, transmit on 
the 440 band with milliwatts and listen to the output of the local 
repeater on 147.00.  With a headset and PTT I can walk around and look 
at *stuff* while still serving as talk in)

So, after sleeping most of the afternoon I made a trip up the 25G to 
install another rope and pulleys so the guys on the ground can raise and 
lower the gin pole. I just have to guide it. Next step is to cut the 
next set of temp guys and attach them to the tower section ready to go 
up.  The following/last section will have a guy bracket and permanent 
Phillystran  guys attached.

New rig with 200 watts capable on six, my AV640 struck by lightning and 
I'm missing a LOT of openings and DX. <sigh>

Keep those openings coming Joey! They're a strong incentive to get my 
antenna work done, even with the Arthritis. <:-))
