When I'm QRV here I'll check in ...?

Plans are for both a dipole and vertical for 60.?

Some pictures?

Tower #2 is ready ... Rohn 25??

I just need to grout the base tilt plate tomorrow.?

This tower, as with all my towers, will have dual hazers (antenna elevators) so I can service my antennas without climbing.?

A top rotatable yagi and a fixed direction yagi 1/2 to 3/4 up the tower.

I don't know if I sent you a picture of the Rohn 55 tower - 50 footer?

Radio Shack ready for priming and painting

240 volt and 120 volt circuits installed last week?

Every project is taking longer than anticipated, but at least they are going in the right direction !

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can¡¯t get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.¡± ¡ª IBM maintenance manual, 1975?

Wishing you a happy and healthy new year !

All is well ...I'll give you a call soon to catch up.

With the SCDXA the blunt reason is ...too many dead guys, no young guys who care.?

This will probably happen with all the older established clubs / associations.

I'm just happy to have been an active participant in the hobby of? "Playing Radioman" !

An unfortunate sign of the times.

It is not easy to recruit and retain members.

For many "The Romance of Radio" simply isn't there anymore.?

In my opinion, our hobby will continue but not at the level we are accustomed to .?
