This road trip took us to MD/VA once again. The first stop was N3ARL, in Sykesville, MD. Howard wanted a new mast & rotator installed, and a general “cleanup” on his 25G tower. If there was a direction left uncovered … Continue reading
The biggest job among the belated bits was the work at N4YZ. Tommie had a TH-7 he wanted to remove, swapping it for a new Mosley PRO-67C. I had some misgivings, as his 90-ft 25G was even older than the … Continue reading

One of the more interesting (okay, more difficult) jobs undertaken by Tower Works recently, was AD8J’s install, up in Weaverville, NC. The scope of work included putting up 70 feet of 45G. Nothing too hard about that, right? Of course … Continue reading

After a hectic week starting/finishing some local things, it was time for the annual trek to my old homestate, where a small job occupied me in Athens, then over to mecca itself–Dayton–for the 2014 HamVention. This year marks the 50th … Continue reading
