Speaking of "tower work", this is the new antenna going up at WLOX-TV in Biloxi, Mississippi, this week. They had to change frequencies due to the spectrum auction involving the T-Moble cell carrier. 575,000 to 715,000 watt ERP from a 1201 foot tower. Base of the new antenna is 21 inches in diameter.

I can't believe it has been almost 4 years since I started this build but finally, everything is done, solar, batteries, controller, custom cables, duplexer, control radio, control yagi antenna, mast, coax, etc. half way installed, low power, antenna only at ground level, and works great. photos: https://goo.gl/photos/sVnU5TNpzWXnXqFm9 battery low voltage alarm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1JL3mUtiUI Dtmf channel control gmrs repeater kenwood TK-880 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d06MtueMWM

They didn't stay on too long, but it was obvious that they were not licensed or understood radio etiquette. I set my Midland MXT400 to "scan" so it covers all the channels, that's how I ended up finding them. Really liking this 400.

I like that viewpoint. I also like your call sign, as it simply rolls off the tongue... ...unlike mine that's decidedly a tongue-twister! WQWU626 Folks are all the time asking me how I got a call sign with only three letters, 'cause all they hear is "WQW626. The last "U" is elided into the preceding "W" unless I enunciate the letters s l o w l y.
