Although the team was ready, the weather didn’t cooperate for us to raise the section of tower as planned last Saturday.
The forecast looks good for this Saturday. If we could get a crew here for about an hour or so, the top section and permanent guys can be raised and rigged. And then I can look forward to finishing and raising the Bencher Skyhawk!
All help will be appreciated. Saturday, 18 May ~ 0900
I’ll have a pot of coffee ready.

James…
I can come if you need me, but if you get 4 or 5 others, I think I’ll pass. I’ll check with you on Friday evening or Sat morning.

Ken K3IU
I plan to help out.

Thanks Ken. You’re right. This is not a State project: don’t need 12 watching 4 work. I’ll let the Group know Friday evening how things look. 73 James K1SD
I’v been waiting for a month for a tree guy to do some work removing broken trees (need a bucket), trimming around the tower etc. Well…he’s coming tomorrow! Sorry…had he not, I would have come over to help on the ground. Good luck with the porject. 73! — John, W1XX
The CTRI Team gathered this morning and raised the final section of Rohn 25G to top off the K1SD tower at 70 feet. Thanks to Ken K3IU, Pat NG1G, Mike KB1RFJ, and Bob KB1LN the effort went smoothly without any snags. The top set of guys have been rigged and tightened. The temporary guys have been loosened and I’ll drop them in a day or so.
Thanks again to the CTRI Team!
Now, to the antenna!
