My First Tower!

C4XL is being secured to the mast. The ropes were used as tag lines. You can see that the weather got ugly... we just barely missed the storm but did have to deal with some pretty strong wind gusts!

At this point, you've realized that I've skipped pictures of the mast and the three VHF antennas being installed. That's because I don't have any! :-)

That's Jay KCØAKJ and Rodney (non-ham friend) on the tower.
