My do list for the coming week is pretty simple. I am going to construct a 30 M dipole and I am having a friend come over for some tower work. I can’t climb due to balance issues but I still do a good job as a ground person.

What I need done on my tower is the removal of one antenna and the installation of another one along with attaching some pullies at the top of the tower. Simple stuff, right? The antenna I am having taken down is a 2 M cubical quad that has been up there for about 18 years. The weather got the best of it and it needs removal. The replacement is a dual band vertical (2 M and 440). This will allow me to reach some of the local repeaters here in Perry County.
