The Antenna Project Begins


  • Force 12 EF-180B/D @ 107'
The antenna upgrades were purchased at the 1999 Dayton Hamvention.  Tom, N6BT, from Force 12  stated the new antennas would be delivered in about 6 - 8 weeks.  In order to minimize the tower time when the new antennas arrive, I decided to remove the antennas that were to be replaced. The C-4XL/D and C-3 were lowered to the ground and dismantled.  The TIC ring was eventually moved to the required spacing of the new antenna stack. That in itself is a whole other topic.  Basically I only had 80 meters during the spring and summer of 1999..... But was it worth the wait??
