MAARC Vertical Base Installation - 01/23/2010
|
|
|
|
Below are few informal shots taken when Marcel, VE9ML, Warren MacKnight, VE9MA, Hinson Calkin, VE9CX, and Bill Gillis, VE1WG, took advantage of a sunny but cold Saturday morning to mount a new bracket and support pipe for the HF R7 Vertical Antenna at the MAARC Club Rooms. The structural framework after completion of inside work is ready for next stage installation of the HF R7 vertical antenna and its feedline.
It's a well known axiom that antennas erected in the dead of winter on a very cold day will perform far better than a radiator installed on a warm summer day. Excellent results for the new vertical are anticipated.
