I was summoned one day recently by Bob Harrison to come quickly up to the clubhouse to help him remove the radial wires. He told me the Air Force wanted them up so that they could mow the grass. When I arrived he had already pulled many of the wires up and dropped them in a pile. I merely followed his lead and helped finish the job. I made some attempt to not make too horrible a mess of the wires and to leave them attached to the solder ring, by pulling them all out it one direction. But mainly the were just layed without very much care in the back of my pickup truck where they still remain. Let me know if you would like to meet to recover them. I really was mostly an uninvolved helper in their removal.

I was finally able to make it to the Clubhouse this past Monday. Between the bad weather and other obligations I could not find enough time sooner. I removed the tower, the pole and the cables. I noticed the ground radials were removed. Hopefully the wires soldered on the copper ring got saved (it took over 7000' of wire to build the ground screens).Niko - AC6DD> We have (stored at site 1) a power edger that with a > carbide saw blade cuts nice shallow thin trenches for > radials.

That would be great! Right now it looks like Mondays are the best day for me to come by, possibly next Monday if you have the time. Maybe we can also discuss some ideas.
