Here are three more pictures from the first weekend at the QTH. I forgot about these that I had on my own camera.

This weekend a lot of work has been done. SM2SYV helped us to move the 60m tower and antennas from the old village of Sika to the new place with a truck. This was a HUGE help since with a normal trailer after a car it would have been many trips and we would also have needed to dissamble a lot of the booms etc.

Other stuff done during the weekend was that me and SM2XJP went down and picked up the aluminium towers from Sika since we didn’t manage to stuff those on the truck in the first trip. These tower don’t way much though (you lift them yourself with one hand) and was an easy task. It was harder to move the rotator for the 60m tower but we managed to do that as well.

We also noticed that it would be very tight for the crane to be able to pass the 80M 4SQ to get to the location for the future 60m tower and we decided to cut down some of the forrest and move it further in. We still have a few trees to cut down to get the 80M 4SQ up but it’s very close now.  In two weeks we will probably also dig the holes for the 60m tower and it’s guy anchors so we can get those prepared for the winter.

Luckily we got to borrow a tractor with a timber wagon (which has got a crane) and that helps us A LOT when removing the trees.

Here are some pictures:

That is a OH8QD 60m high rotatable tower and a lot of yagis + 80M 4SQ

This is a huge help when taking down trees
