Station is now almost finished and close to final stage. Three rotary towers and two self-suporting towers are now loaded with most of antennas planed to be install.

The old one fixed tower for 15M stack is replaced with new one, 31m high, rotary, model 31/65, with two rings - on 10m and 24m. Now, tower 3 is carrying:

20M - 5/5 by M2
15M - 6/6 by M2

160M dipole

Rotary base is motorized with 1kW, 3 phase motor and controlled with RAC X rotor controller.

All installations of rotary towers is done by Simo, YT3M and I am very greatful for his huge and professional help. Without Simo, all could be harder and slower.

Also big thank to my godfather Lazo – YT0W who come twice with Simo to help in installation of last rotary tower.
