[WVDXA] Day ONE on W8TN's Tower Project

[Clark L. Stewart]

Guys,

      Today was the day to take down the antennas at my current QTH.  K4OM, 
Pete, and KC8UHE, Tim, graciously agreed to come and help.  Without their 
help I would not have been able to do 1/4 of what got done.  Thanks a load 
guys.  This stuff sure was a lot easier when I was younger.

      Anyway, photos of today's activities have been posted on the 
following web site starting with the 10th photo on that page titled "On 
10-April-2007 . . ."

      I had hoped to get the IIX Ladder Mast and the 30-feet of tower on 
the ground today but ol' W8TN just pooped out after almost 3 hours on the 
tower.  Probably could have made it if I had not had to call for the 
bolt-cutters to cut through two rusted U-Bolts.  Dang near didn't get 
through them.  I just don't have that "Superman" strength I had in my youth.

      Now to go find my Aleve and lay down for a nice 12-hour nap.  Pete & 
Tim, thank you so much!

CUL, 73, Clark, W8TN
