It was a long, tiring day, but what a great feeling to look up and see it all beginning to come back together. It's been over 2 years since the storm took my antennas and tower down. Today we got more antenna work finished, and it's much closer to being completed.
The 5 element
yagi for 6 meters and 13 element yagi for 2 meters SSB (horizontal)
are now installed at 108' and 111' respectively, feedlines installed &
terminated, and other tower maintenance done. Still have to install
stuff for 2m / 220 / 440 FM, and raise the 160, 80, & 40 meter
antennas from 65' to abt 100', and 30 meters to about 90'.
The 13 element 2M SSB yagi propped up against the house, waiting to be pulled up the tower.
Looking to the NW at about 80'. You can see the top guy wire coming down from above in the photo.
The view as I was climbing up the tower. The work / tool bucket was already tied to the tower near the top...
Looking
down from the rotator shelf at about 100', at the 2m SSB yagi to be
installed with horizontal polarization at about 111' on the tower.
Looking up at the mast where the yagi's will be installed...
Looking to the west from under the 2M SSB yagi at about 111'.
Looking up through the HF, 6m, and 2m yagis while on the tower.
Looking to the west at about 105', just below the Force-12 HF Yagi...
View to the east at about 105', under the Force 12 HF yagi
Looking straight up the tower at the yagi stack. More antennas coming to fill that space :-)
An opening in the trees frames the view of the new yagi stack from the back yard.
Looking up at the tower and yagi stack from the rear deck.. More tower work coming soon!
