I have my HF and VHF/UHF antennas at the top of a 12 foot wooden mast that is attached to the top of the Pergola that covers the back Patio. It will take at least 2 people to take the 12 mast down so that I can redo the VHF/UHF antennas which are almost ready to fall off. The HF G5RV Jr is on a pulley. I have a lower pulley that I want to host my 6M dipole to. I also will need help replacing the HF feedline and adding the feedline for the 6M dipole. So I am looking for 2-3 people that can come over this Saturday or Next Saturday to help. It should only take 2-3 hours to do what needs to be done. You can contact me here, email me at joannplano2005@yahoo.com or text me at 214-621-9134 or by phone at the same number.

JoAnn - Morning, Mid-day, or Afternoon? I work my other weekend tasks around once we know what time frame.

Re: Need help with Antennas
I am looking at around 10:00AM. That way it should not mess up anyones Saturday. I am planning on the Saturday Morning of the 14th. I will be doing some prep work early so that the main part will be quick and easy. That is take the 12 foot mast down, clean the Ringo Ranger on top, and then put the mast back up.

I am also adding a 6 Meter Dipole, but I have pulleys on the top of the Mast.

Re: Need help with Antennas
Thank to all that stopped by and gave me a hand with my antennas. We took the wooden mast down and serviced the Ringo Ranger. Then we re-horsted the G5RV and 6M Dipole into place, Installed NEW Coax on the G5RV and the 6M dipole, routed the coax to the window entrance. Fired up the rig, tested the ant at 40M, 20M, 15M, and 10M with great results which verified what I had thought and that is the coax I had hooked to the G5RV was BAD. It is now in the Recycle Bin. Again thanks to all that stopped by.
