This hole was by far the biggest challenge of the 10 holes we dug on 17 June. |
Note the solid coral. |
This box was one of the 135 individual items we shipped. |
It takes a LOT of pieces/parts to build a world class station! |
Here's 1000 feet of 6700 pound Phillystran, with a mountain of Heliax in the background and some Rohn 55 pieces in the foreground. |
Four shiny new rotor plates for the two new towers. |
Guy brackets for 55 and 45 towers. |
The ocean guy anchor, finally complete. |
Here is the base for the 45G tower, with base bolts in place, beginning its eight day curing period. |
We also poured small anchors for the existing PJ9JT 54 foot aluminum tower. It is supposedly self-supporting, but in the howling winds at the seaside we did not want to take any chances -- it too is now well guyed with Phillystran. |
