This year wasn’t nearly as busy as the Summer of 2003, the only real change this year was the replacement of the 15m stack with new M-Squared antennas. The hard part was done in 2003 with the removal of the monster 8 element Telrex Yagi, after that moving all the little 4 element ones was a snap.

This sequence just shows the process of removing and reinstalling the 15m stack.
Someone playing with the camera settings while I am on the ring at 60’
N1SR hardly at work on a tag line
These were badly balanced designs
Removing the 90’ antenna, note universal wrench hanging below me
This one balanced a bit better
It’s a long way down on an empty tower.
Putting up the new one at 60’, it was too windy that day to do the top ones.
South one in place, this is installing the one on the ring rotor at 30’
Next I’ll have to take new over all pictures and update the summary pages….
