6BA @ AC2R
07/24/11 10:54
Always a treat to get work near the home QTH! AC2R had an 8 year old steppir which the element boots had rotted and two of the elements had fallen out. We replaced with a F12 6BA with 2 elements on 40m.
N8CL Repair XM240
07/10/11 10:53
From Rochester we headed west to N8CL's to tighten up the boom to mast clamps on the XM240. We have seen this issue before, CC needs a better clamping system on the new XM240. The 40-CD was better, so we ended up using new hardware and some locktite to see if this holds.
10M7 @ W2FU
07/07/11 10:52
From Watertown we headed to Rochester to the M/M Station W2FU. We took down a 3 el 40, installed a tic ring and 10M7 @ 150' at Jeff's contest station.
JE2EHP Visit
07/03/11 10:51
We had the pleasure of hosting a visit from Yoshi-san JE2EHP. We took Yoshi to Ray's contest QTH and Yosh had fun running around 100 JA's both at sunset and sunrise (JA) and drinking beer, it doesn't get better then that! Yoshi met up with W2RE, WW2DX, WT4Q, W3JK, AB3CX and hams from ARRL Headquarters.

Headed back to K2CYE for a faulty prositel rotor. Apparently there are some issues with bad pots and condensation on these rotors.
Pour Base for Home Land Security
06/25/11 10:49
Headed up to Watertown, NY to install 110' of Rohn55 for the Department of Home Land Security. Just as we finished the install a large lightening storm showed up!
LM470 Cable replacement K2WS
06/18/11 10:48
Headed back out to Alan K2WS and replaced the cabled on his LM470 crank up tower. Alan lives just about a mile from the ocean, it was a good time to replace the 12 year old cables!
DB18E @ K1LTJ
06/05/11 10:47
Another Steppir install at AL's K1LTJ's QTH overlooking Candle wood Lake in Danbury CT.
In 6 weeks since we installed the DB18E Al has worked 165 DXCC!

DB36 @ K1XV
05/14/11 11:49
We had a fairly brutal winter in most of the northeast. K1XV lost his Force12 antennas to some real bad ice storms up on the mountain in VT. We ended up building a DB36, so far its been playing very well!
80' Rohn45 with Optibeam OB12-4 @ K2CYE
04/17/11 22:02
"New kid on the block"
New (young) blood in the hobby is a very good thing! We had the pleasure of installing 80' Rohn45 with a killer Optibeam OB12-4 for Mike K2CYE in Warwick, NY. Mike has been DXing, quickly learning and loving CW and recently has gotten bit by the contest bug :)
Congrats to Mike and his FB station that is growing at a very fast pace!
