September 2005
We have not played on
the 6 meter bands here at VA3GY. So I made the decision this
year to replace the little used 70cm beams on the tower with a
6M beam.

This configuration has been in
service since 2002
So we got to work.......
 
 
 
 
 
The whole effort took no more than
90 minutes and we had the installation done. the only thing
left at the end was to waterproof the connectors where the
flying lead of the antenna joins into the Andrew 1/2" feedline
- there was a swarm of mean looking Hornets at the top of the
tower and I left that for another day.
