August Work Party Pictures

Take a look at the pictures taken at the work party Aug 2019. That our Karl, WA3VXJ mounting our new Hex Beam antenna on the far tower. After that he was up the VHF tower remounted the 2m beam antenna. I also got to ride up 70 feet to take some pictures.

Working on the tower

It was real fun balancing the Hex Beam by himself. Its only 25 pounds but we added the 40m add on kit and there two coax cables hanging off it.

Here is the repeater hut and Shed

Its mated to the tower

Taking down the 900 Mhz beam to make room for the 2m antenna. So from top to bottom 220 Mhz, 144 Mhz, 440 Mhz, 1296 Mhz beams

Unfortunately the 900 Mhz ATV antenna is coming down

Reviewing the situation

Karl hard at work he didnt even take a break
