Hi Larry,
the tower project is looking good, but I didn't think you needed it. You always had a fantastic footprint with your station.
I guess this is to help out with the lack of DX.
I gotta wonder though...did you mix those 31 bags of concrete by hand? Thats a lot of stirring.

Hi paul,
Yes on "mixing by hand"!! I did have the help of CDX 486 - Doug, but it still took us about hour for the whole thing.
Tuesday I will be pouring MUD for one more hole for Guy Line post, 2 1/2" "I" Beam for it.
Just in case I have a problem with the hand winch, it's ready for attaching my 8000 lb truck winch.
Here is one of my casualty from a week ago last Friday. I won't go into how I managed to do it, but lets just say that the rusted old WIRE was tougher than my arm. AS you can see, no stitch's, but that was not smart!!

Yes...the wound slowed me up for 3 days. But it's getting better and FL Native I did get the Tetanus shot.
Tower is up and everything went according to plan. The hand winch worked great without a hitch.
It's a pretty dark day today, so I will get some pictures tomorrow.
Good readings on the MFJ:
X=57, R=0 and SWR 1:1
I set everything according to what Steve had told me on the instruction sheet - no tuning required!
