Ham Radio Antenna Tower Build July 18 & 19 2020

Tower build and Antenna Install for Dan (KC9IKI) - This Tower was installed over a 2 Day Timeframe - Originally it was supposed to be a 50ft tower but due to limitiations of our lift and due to the fact that I didn't want to guy this tower it seemed better to stick at 40ft of tower to be freestanding with this antenna - We made a few adjustments along the way - The Mast pipe alone weighed in a 65lbs and when we tried to put it up installed on the top section of tower with the rotor it was way to heavy to manage so we decided to put the mast in after the top section of tower was installed. The first day of installation got rained out soon after the top section of tower was installed, so we had to try again the next day to finish the installation. This is a tri-band beam (20 - 15 - 10 meters). After the antenna was up, the first contact made was in Hungary (Europe) and then second contact was in Rome, Italy. The Antenna Work Great!
