Clare K0NY has suggested that we use sections of the club tower to 
suspend the G5RV antenna on field day.  We need a couple of volunteers 
to check out the sections, attaching bolts, guy lines, and anchors.  See 
below info from Clare.

WHO CAN HELP WITH THIS PROJECT--make sure all the antenna sections, 
connectors, and guy system are good to go?  The tower sections are at 
Clare's residence.

Later, we will need someone to help get the materials to the field day site.

Sincerely,
Len KC0RSX

The G5RV only needs to go up 25 to 30 feet.  Use one straight section and
one tapered section (Has a rotor in it).  If I remember I will mark with
surveyors flagging.   Use high grade fine thread machine screens.  You may
need to get them at Fastenal with lock washers.   The tower sections
are under the tree.   

You will need about 150 feet of rope for three guy lines.   We have anchors in the club box.
