I and W3JDG, Jorge Duarte, will be up in the shack assembling the last antenna: A DX Engineering Skyhawk 3x10 tribander. There will be a site visit by the tower crew sometime tomorrow to assess equipment needs a whatever materials they need to acquire or fabricate for the job. Installation should start Tuesday. I have assembled five of our six new antennas, two of which are for the NWS because when our first 3x10 came down, it damaged the two NWS antennas.
The owner of Gteen Country Tower, the company slated to install our antennas, is in the hospital and will be undergoing surgery tomorrow. I have no other details.
This means the installation is postponed indefinitely. More when I get it I’ve also requested a no-cost extension to the grant given it’s unlikely the work will be completed by October 1st.
