The web site looks OK but I guess you are still working to allow one to see the rest of the pictures. I congratulate you on trying to build a web site.
I started with my novice in May 1957 as KN5MDX. Finally upgraded to a Conditional (mail order General) in March 1958 and dropped the N. I found out early I was not so good at CW as neighbors K5IIN or K5QNF (now W2RF) but I could whip them on phone and I placed in third place in the 1958 ARRL SS Phone beating veteran W5DQK (SK) whose son is AG5Z. In 1959 I won the SS Phone but alas nothing but a certificate for my efforts. My Dad got Mississippi Power to provide a telephone pole and we put a Gonset Tri-Bander on top on an 18 foot boom. I found out that W1PDL and several others were also using Gonset Tri-Banders. We built a 500 watt rig with help from master builders W5DYJ and W5KHB (both SK). I had a Eldico SSB-100 I got from W5KFT Electronics in 1965 and later an NCL-2000. We built a W5HVV quad on a 24 foot boom and I remember beating the West Coast to JA in 1967. I was attending college back then and upon graduating took a job in Jackson. I acquired a Tristao 71 foot crank up and then traded the NCL2000 for a Henry 2K which I finally sold in 2016.. I moved to the Atlanta area in 1973 after getting married. I got K4JRB later in 1973 but have lived on small half acre lots so only one tower and wire antennas. Some how I got to the DXCC Honor roll in 1982 and have 379 with Kosovo.
In 1981 I put 3 KLM 5 el beams on the crank up but W3TMZ sold me on the new KT-34X (later XA) and I found it was just as good as the 5 el monobanders and a year later I put up my 2 el Cushcraft 40 which helped sell that beam to several contesters in the SE including N4KG who told me it was a killer beam for such a small antenna.
My dad looked at a job near your area in the late 1950's as he was a forester with Johns-manville and another firm was building a plant in central Alabama and needed an experienced man to manage all their forest timberland. My mother just did not want to move to another small town so we stayed put.
I had a professional web page for my business in the 1990's but after my heart attack in late 1998 i gave that up.. Sure wish I had enough land to put up towers like you have. I did help N4RJ with his 6 or 7 towers and was helping Bill W4AN/KM9P when he passed away in as I recall 2003 or 4. Bill had a nice hill top with a double wide mobile house on it but had just started building a station when he passed. I am trying to downsize and have a 70 foot Rohn 45 tower up and have the 2 El 40 and a Tennedyne T-10 ready to go up when the tower guy can get to me. I did win the Icom 7300 from Giga Parts last October and that is totally a different radio from my much older Yaesu's.
Keep up the good work and keep us informed. Maybe see you on 10 or 160 in the near future.

My old website went down unknown to me when the hosting
folks Earthlink stopped for some reason. So I have been constructing a
new one for the last several weeks. The one I made years ago was fairly
easy but this turned into hair pulling exercise. I am still not happy
with it and probably will revise it soon but let me know what you think!
