I am looking a couple of guys for Volunteers who have experience and would be willing to help me with stabbing my rotor. I am having
trouble with my back right now and dont feel comfortable climbing the tower, also have not been able to buy a Gen-Pole yet for
raising the antenna.

I have an old Hornet Tribander (3 element tribander) similar in size and design to a Cushcraft A3, THE BOOM IS only 14 feet in
length and the longest element is only 72" weight is only 35 lbs.

I would like help with getting it mounted to my Ham IV rotor. I already have the tower up and the rotor mounted, I also have a full
body climbing harness in case that is necessary.

The tower is Rohn25 only approx 28 feet in height, mounted in 3X3X3 foot of concrete. I have already been up the tower and it is
very stable. As I said the antenna is small tribander,  the mast is approx 10 feet, it shouldn't take much time or effort.

What I dont have is tower experience, Gen-Pole or rope to bring it to the top, or the money to buy the proper additional tools
before this weekend for CQWW SSB.

I live in Weatherford, Tx and my address is good on QRZ if you want to see where I live before you volunteer. We are between
Springtown and Weatherford.

If interested please call my work number 817-940-5725
