RAIN…RAIN…RAIN…enemy number 1 of antenna work. Ten hearty CTRI members showed up this past Saturday for a club meeting/antenna raising. Guess which didn’t get done?
CTRI Contest Group is a helping hand bunch. It was decided to try again this Saturday, August 18 at 9 AM at the W1XX QTH, 48 Shannock Rd., South Kingstown. My 160 meter vertical thanks you!
It shouldn’t take over an hour. It takes 3 “crankers” on the winches, guy rope holders, and spotters. Not hard to do, but several folks needed for success. Hardhats recommended. We will celebrate with a BBQ.
So no one makes the trip in vain, your affirmative RSVP reply needed here in comments, email to w1xx[at]cox[dot]net, or voice message at 401-783-1588. I know some can’t make it…certainly understandable. If we have enough manpower committed, and the weather holds up, we’re a GO. If we don’t have enough folks to do the job or the weather looks unfavorable, by 7 AM Saturday I will post a CANCEL comment to this thread on the website, ctri[DOT]club.
73! — John, W1XX 8/13/2018
John, I’ll be there
K3IU will be there to turn a crank.
CANCEL…CANCEL!!! Showers, thunderstorms, damaging winds in the forecast. No go. TNX to those who said they would be able to make it. We’ll look for another day in the fall. 73 and stay safe. — John, W1XX 8/17/2018 8 AM
