The old English major got a workout today. Over
at KK9A’s QTH, where we began with lifting the
final 40-feet of his Rohn 65G tower into place,
complete with the K7NV-refurbished prop pitch,
3-inch mast, and the star guy bracket and new
Phillystran. Almost 2000 lbs of stuff up and over
my head in one pick. Rigging was a tad lopsided,
so the spud wrench saved the day. Then up to 150 ft
to install the 20/40M Yagis. Only 95-degrees, so
it was not too bad (compared to last week in TX,
for example)~!
Submitted the Tower Book MSS this morning, sans
pictures/images, which I’m working on now.
Fingers crossed for successful publication (or
at least reception among the general ham
population).
stay tuned
