Field Day - Park Site Inspection - RESTROOMS!

 

Well the good news is that there is a brand new restroom building just a few yards from the Railroad Pavilion! And the trees that usually hamper the raising of the tribander don't seem to have grown too much more. They look somewhat the same as last year. The bad news is that none of the 3 GFCI receptacles were working. All three are in bad shape and need to be replaced.? I will contact the park people to let them know.

With the new restroom building to the west of the pavilion they have trimmed some of the trees in that direction. We might be able to partially prop up a mast against some of those tree limbs. And with some higher guy ropes, we could have a 40 foot pipe mast for a light-weight antenna. Any ideas?

I have some poles. What ever works, I will go by there and look also, Greg.
I need to do that. Thanks for going by there.

Hello group.
Here is a thought that may work well, safer and easier for getting the tribander in the air on the tower.? Get the tower and mast up against the pavilion first work the mast and flag in place.? A pully and rope at the top of the mast near the flag be ready.? Will pull the antenna up the side of the tower to the top using the pully and rope.? Person on the roof will secure the antenna to the mast while ground crew hold the weight of the antenna.? I can visualize the being maybe easier than using the ladder and fighting the trees...
