HA!  For sure you didn't build that in Georgia - the only hills like that
may be up in Nawth Georgia! But my question is where did you get the white
toothpicks? I've seen red one's but never white ones. You could consider
putting a 15 Ghz vertical at the top so you could have a good antenna for
your SDR and CW skimmer?

Here's a picture of my new 250 foot tower. I built it myself out of scrap 
metal in one hour, painted the whole tower, and installed it in ten 
minutes!! The beacon lights and blinks.

I want to put antennas on it. Any suggestions? I also need a crew to help me

clear snow and install a building for future contests. Free lunch but bring 
tweezers, the lunch buckets are small.
