Tower Construction Pictures

WORCESTER, PA

Below are pictures of Dave N3KKL (on the tower) and Dave K3HLN (in the bucket) adding the third section to the new tower being erected at the Worcester site. As of 20 November 1999 the tower stood at 25' and was ready for the first set of guy wires.



K3HLN lifted the new tower section into place and N3KKL fits the tower legs together while K3HLN supports the top of the new section.




N3KKL pulls the new tower section onto the existing tower section while K3HLN supports the new tower section from the top.

Here are the juvenile delinquent horses just before they proceded to unloaded Vince N3AGD's van. They also slimed his entire van. The dark horse, a little left of center, who is looking right AT the camera, is the ring-leader of the gang.




Here are the two Pottstown Area Repeater Team (PART) climbers that helped PARA by installing the .76 antenna on the new tower at Worcester.


These pictures were taken by Mark KA3VTM at the PARA Worcester, PA
site on December 18, 1999.
