Justin VK2CU with his new HF beam. Can we get it together before the start in 15 minutes? ...
... quite possibly ...
... 5 minutes to go. Anyone got a spare mast? ...
... First we need to rotate the beam ...
... through 180 degrees ...
... and move it forward just a bit (up the road) ...
... keep going ...
... and rotate it another 90 degrees ...
... Steve VK2BCD has found a spare mast ...
... ready to hoist away (Steve VK2BCD, Ray VK2NRG and Dave VK2FDIW)...
... Dave VK2FDIW makes it secure ...
... those half-axle pegs take a bit of hammering in! ...
... The HF beam is up and ready (no cars were damaged in the making of this antenna!)
