These pictures show the construction of the new K4TQU repeater tower during the summer of 19xx.

Concrete day. The first of three guy-wire anchors is poured.

The Classic Ol'Geezers. George Norton, W4EEE; Ricky Bray, KN4LA; Craig Cleveland, WA4HSN; Jon Cato, KC4MYC; Robert Stovall, W4KBY; Max Heller, KC4GZX; Ralph Costa, K4TQU. We're standing in front of the tower base section. All that red clay is about to be replaced by concrete.

Max, KC4GZX; George, W4EEE; Jon, KC4MYC; Robert, W4KBY; Craig, WA4HSN; Ralph, K4TQU. Here we're pouring the second guy-wire anchor. Judging by the number of people with hands on their hips, we must be hard at work.

Tower rasing day. Dan's assistant secures another tower guy.

Dan Cisson, N4GNR is preparing to attach the next set of guy-wires after stacking several sections of tower.

Linda, KN4KW. Wh'du'ya mean you've already got the camera. Linda says that really wasn't a party hat. A flood lamp was sitting on the porch shelf, right at the correct place!
