There has been activity on antennas this Summer at the home of Steve K7AWB. The Force 12 MAG620 (20 meter 6-element) blew a balun probably during a lightning storm and was removed, the balun replaced, and the antenna reinstalled on top of the Rohn 45 tower #1. The M2 2M5WL (2 meter 17-element) was removed and replaced with a M2 6M7 (6 meter 7-element) at the top. The 2 meter antenna will go up soon at the top of the Rohn 25 Tower #2. Also, a Force 12 5BA (5 band 15-element) will go on that tower. 1/2″ Heliax is being installed from some of the antennas to the bottom of the towers to junction boxes. All the work is not done yet, but the hope is to finished before the snow flies. Here are a few pictures.
