[SECC] More antenna work

[David Thompson]

I replaced the 3rd director and the 3" cap on the KT 34XA last Sunday.  I
have  the cap hats to replace on the Cushcraft 2 el 40.

I found one of the overhead struts broken on the KT 34XA (the original
aircraft cable).  The other broke as the tower was lowered.  KLM replaced
these with kevlar which I have.  I also have the remains of a Isopole 2
meter on top . I have the crank up pinned with steel pipe Bill Wall gave me
but not sure if I can climb the ladder steps to reach the struts or the
Isopole. I was going to rent a bucket truck but its very expensive and I
have other bills in front of doing this.

After I fix the caps hats I will see if I can stand on the ladder.  My
problem is I get leg cramps
easily and I even get them walking around on the roof.

I do hope to have the tower and beams back up by November 1st.  Its hard to
work the contests with the beams at 30 feet and pointing on 25 degrees.
