Fixing the middle 20m yagi
Today finally I got some help to start with antenna work. SM3XLY Erik came to the station and helped me with the middle 20m yagi in the 60m tower.
The front director of the antenna was loose, and a guy wire for the boom was broken. The winch was mounted on the tower and the antennas was hanging in the wire while it was tilted verically to be able to reach the director, and the loose guy wire. Active tower time was about 3-4 hours but some extra hour to prepare the winch as well.
In the morning Jan and Wolfie helped to clean up the old antenna storage that had broken during winter.
Total man power at the station today, three. (XIK also visited but he arrived to late for the antenna party…) Dog count was two.
