Antenna Party at VO1NO's place!
On Saturday, Nov 25, several hams gathered at the home of VO1NO/VE3 (Just east of SMith Falls in FN24) to help him errect a 56' tower to support his 6 element 50Mhz bean. It was a beautiful day for tower work and it was a complete success. Check out the pics! I took my kids with me to help out. Matthew is 7 and Anna is 4. They were great helpers!
Here is a pic of the "V01NO MkI Tower Base" setup to be raised using the "Falling Derrick" method.
Pic of the "Block and tackel" setup used for making rasing the tower MUCH easier!
Here are two pics of VA3RDC, VO1NO, and AL's son Jeremy (NOCALL) making some fine adjustments
Great pic of the guy wire anchors (e.g. "There is no such think as over-engineering for safety!"
Every antenna raising party needs a peanut gallery or cheering squad!
The tower is up!
Future tower climbers?
Al's current crop of Towers.. looking good!
