Antenna is UP

We finally have to tower project complete several months again (date of post), but it took me a while to get this post up.  The Mosley is awesome!  It went together easily and performs great!  I rarely need to turn the amp on with this antenna and am able to bust pile-ups.
Almost done!


Here it is on the tower.  N4ZVN Ed is on top getting the antenna secured to the mast.  Then we will do a rotor test to make sure everything turns correctly and enough slack in the coax.
Looking down the boom.


WA4USC Ron making sure everything goes right.

All done!  Ed took this just before he headed home.  Awesome shot!
 We we able to get video of the whole deal with Ed's GoPro.  It did get a little exciting starting out...we bent the gin pole's bracket, but were able to get around that pretty easily.  Special thanks to Ed, Buddy, Ron, Christen and my neighbor Ben.  Couldn't have completed this with out them.
