The SteppIR antenna in tower 4 had a broken element. I will repair it and make it stronger. For this it has to come off the tower. When repaired it will go to tower 7 as part of a stack with the 4 el StepIR that is already on that tower.
Last year I bought a 16 elements GXP for 10, 15 and 20M. This antenna will be mounted on top of tower 4.  Also I have build a 9 element 50MHz antenna witch will also be mounted in tower 4.

On Saturday 12 October I was getting help from Peter PA4O, Nap PA1NG and Thomas PA1M and crane driver Henk van Wieringen.

On the pictures below you can see the work what is done. In 3 hours the job was done. To fasten the coax and make some changes I had to go up again a couple of times.
