And The Mast is Up
Mark, my carpenter assisted. The best part was that the trig I did to calculate line length’s was right. I deployed the unit number 34 because I discovered that the bracket was fractured.

She’s A Beauty
Pinned up, measuring 35 feet, 1.25 in. atop and 2.0 in. at the bottom. A little floppy with some beautiful curves…. Thanks mucho Dan W7WVF — your mast will have a second life standing up for Meshcore Repeater Bandon-N. It’s going to take a lift to stand it up. And some guy-wires. Placing the mast…
