All those  tower-sections  in the yard  took up  a lot of space, but how to get them up now? I spoke to several friends at the radioclub  about the best way  to erect the tower.  The  bottom  section  has the  weight of  a small car and  the other tower-sections  are also heavy. A gin pole  would'nt  work,  it would  never be strong or long enough to pull  the sections up.  Hiring  a crane  was the answer. The next  problem  was that  the crane could'nt come close  enough to lift  the top section  high enough! We had  to take a  calculated  risk and  stretch  it a little bit.  Not all of Us  climb towers  so ON4CJH,  Richard on  the  joystick controlling  the crane  movement  while myself  and the  crane-operator  putting  the last section in place |
