[W2CRA] CRA: Help with antenna assembly

All,

I'm looking for some help to assemble the antenna for my DMR repeater at Cherryville 911 center.  It is an 8 dipole
array with a pre-connect harness made out of very stiff cable: like trying to wrestle an stubborn octopus and definitely
a 4 person job.
No particular skills required other than the ability to listen, follow simple directions and know the difference between
"righty-tighty" and "lefty-loosie".

Task will be to untangle the mess and have each person grab 2 interconnected elements and then slide them onto and along
the mounting pipe - aligning the U bolts to the marks on the pipe. Then we carefully and evenly tighten the U bolts and
line up  all the elements.  Finally, loosen each nut, individually and apply thread locker and torque.

I'm estimating 1 to 1 1/2 hours either Saturday from 10:30 AM or later OR Sunday from 1 PM or later.

If interested, please reply here or direct email with you choices of date / time frame and I'll try to come up with some
commonality.

Thanks in advance,
Bill - WB1GOT
