www.hamradiofinds.com This was the scene recently at Dave's place W5SV, just north of Austin, Tx., where a Hy-Gain LP-1010 14 Element Log Periodic ham radio antenna was raised onto a 70ft free standing tower, with the help of a crane..There is a 5 element Cushcraft 6 meter beam above the lp..We had quite an interesting time with this project..All went fine until one of the forward elements got tied up with the boom of the crane..No damage was done to the LP, though you can see where it is now out of alignment with the rest of the elements..Will have to use a crane with a bucket to repair problem..After the installation was completed, coaxes & rotor hooked up, SWR checked fine on all bands from 30 to 6 meters.. The crew consisted of Craig KB5BI ( in the blue shirt), our tower monkey Tim KE5CFZ & myself, Mel WA5UTK..Dave was somewhere in the background.. Thanks for viewing & reading..73s, Mel WA5UTK
