On Saturday, Nov 25, several hams gathered at the home of VO1NO/VE3 (Just east of SMith Falls in FN24) to help him errect a 56' tower to support his 6 element 50Mhz bean. It was a beautiful day for tower work and it was a complete success. Check out the pics! I took my kids with me to help out. Matthew is 7 and Anna is 4. They were great helpers! Here is a pic of the "V01NO MkI Tower Base" setup to be raised using the "Falling Derrick" method.
