Many of you have worked the FB signal from RW0CN / RT0C on 160 meters
during the past few years. Mike is now a resident of VE7 and visited here
last night and left me a copy of the erection video of the antenna.
The smoke in the video is "anti mosquito" measures.
There are two videos - the longer one is probably too many megabytes for
most to deal with.
The edited shorter version -

This is the "double falling derrick" technique.
A few shots that I took last August of the finished product:
