Now that the tower in Douglas is back up, it is time to get our antenna put back on the tower. Since hanging an antenna is a fairly difficult process, Reid and I invited our Program Director, Roger Adams to accompany us.

Reid climbs to the top of the tower to make some initial preparations

Reid and Roger prepare the rigging for the tower
See? Program directors and engineers CAN cooperate! 🙂

Pulleys and canvas bag full of hardware at the base of the tower…

Roger manages a rope going up the tower…

Reid is almost finished mounting the outriggers for the antenna to the tower…
Two of three are mounted. The third will be mounted on a second visit.

Mounting the antenna to the outriggers…Almost done!

Done! After over 3 months we finally have this site back up to full power!
