Feb. 9, 2008 The First Antenna Is Up

40 Meter Beam part of the way up the tram wire


Antenna is pulled up using gin pole at top of the tower - rope passes thru the gin pole pulley, down the tower to another pulley, over to a third pulley anchored to hitch on back of my truck, and finally connected to the tractor. All the lifting is done by the tractor
