Erection!
 
All tower site work was done by Matt, KC1XX, and Andrew of XX Towers.  They are the BEST.   Tell them I sent you.

We put up 67' of Rohn 45 (60' + 7' top section), with guys at 30' and 60'. I broke up each guy into 3 sections: 3' / 27' / remaining.
 

The parts and crew arrive.

The Tennadyne T10, tested and cabled, anxiously sits in the yard.

Andrew prepares the guy wire assemblies.

The first 20' and mast are tilted into place.

Installing top section.

Andrew bolting the T10 in place. 
Yes, it was a little foggy out.

 
Voila, she is finished!
From top to bottom:
T10 @ 72',  Sidemount @ 60' (2m Ringo, 
placeholders for dipole feedpoints)
Yaesu G1000SDX rotor @ 55'

Feedlines are carried underground to the shack at the rear of the house (behind the garage in this picture) in a 3" PVC conduit. No, the small building on the left is not the radio shack! It's just a shed. It does make for a good picture though, hi!
