More antenna work today. What started out as a quick antenna install, turned into an all day affair!
I had planned to just lower tower #2 to install my Diamond SX-3000 2/70 dual band vertical, but the rotator locked up this morning, requiring the 10m yagi removed, rotator disconnected and rebuilt. The issue... and my fault... the bearing retainer was installed upside down two weeks ago when I serviced the rotator and greased the bearing races!
Anyway, the dual band vertical is now on the top of tower #2, fed with LDF4-50 coax. Just needs to be cranked to full height and the coax terminated inside the shack and then it will be at approx 20mAGL.
