2 Hambulance arrives packed with goodies. A3 assembled on ground to left, north tower base taken out and set up.
3 K2CDJ's car in the back at base of vertical, shows spacing between antenna locations
4 South tower going up with A4S and 2m beam. Who says this is a wireless hobby?!
5 Pacing everything off three times for "accuracy!" "How long are your legs?!!!"
6 Carl KB2SGX in charge, Mike N2VR stuffing tubes, ??? cranking.
7 Loading mechanism of crankup military towers. N2VR pushes down the loading tray by hand, not always the best idea.
8 Next tube goes in. Should have alternated colors.
10 North tower done. Pole in the distance holds the far end of the G5RV, 40m dipole hangs between towers.
11 Remember not to drive anything into the septic tank!
12 Schyuler KC2DYR at 6'+ shows how tall these towers are. He's holding a quarter so you can scale the picture.
13 Siegfried searching on 10m.
14 Norm W2AD runs on 15m.
15 Doug NE2T on 40m CW.
16 Howard N2VJV (l) and Steve AB2DY think they've found a dupe on 20m.
17 Steve AB2DY falls asleep on the radio as Howard looks for YagiDesigner...
18 Top of south tower: A4S is fixed to 250 degrees, while 2m beam rotates.
19 Both tower tops in the sun.
20 View from the north end of the field.
21 All antennas in one pic. Of course, you can't see the wires!
22 Different interpretations of vertical. So close, yet so different!
23 North tower works through the sunset.
24 Moonrise over south tower. Funny how small the moon looks in pictures.
HF antenna and cabling needs spreadsheet
