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.

Here is the base for the 45G tower, with base bolts in place, beginning its eight day curing period.
