These are all jpeg (jpg) and for detail, on order of 
100 to 200 kbyte. 10" x 8" at 72dpi


40 meter 3elements approx 42' overall fasten to these centers
and a coffee can sized plastic (coil?) lives at center just
over the U-bolt. Standoff are insulators. So far suggestions
are that this is an older Mosley. 3" boom dia.

Me, after digging the crankup out from under 8 years growth
of weeds, taking down a 50' Rohn 25, and moving them and
all the antennas (3 ele HF yagi, 6m yagi, and 2m collinear were
all up!) home. Marty AA4RM helped and I'll get a photo of him
next time he comes over.

The crankup was moved with ease by a 'flat bed' type
wrecker for only $81. Got to thinking, Truck, ramp, 
come-along....and realized that the wrecker had it all plus
additional help.
