Today KL1AZ mustered me and quite a few other folks to erect his tilt-tower. Using a small John Deere tractor as well as some good block and tackle, AL7F, N1TX, WL7GK, KL1NU, KL7EDK, KL3SP, WL7TV, KL3RP, and KL1SG managed to do it with ease. It was an incredibly warm fall day (55F). This evening, the sun was shining on the KL2R tower during JARTS.
The tales, trials, and tribulations of a bunch of amateurs trying to build a small contest station in the sub-arctic confines of Interior Alaska. We also have contributions from other KL7 and VY1 contesters.

This was the first trial run of our full-up M2 configuration. Although N1TX lost half Friday night troubleshooting a network problem with one of the PCs, and we only had two ops here briefly on Saturday, it was a resounding success. Conditions were phenomenal, and all systems were stable throughout. Loads of fun. Welcome to new op John AL7ID!
