    That is a beautiful thing! What is the antenna at the top?

    Got the new tower UP! Empty Antennas

    The top antenna I had laying around for a while decided to use it.

    Top antenna is a Antron 99 With Ground plane kit 10-12 meters. actually tunes up on 15 as well with the use of a tuner.

    The smaller antenna off the side is a Ringo ranger 2 meter/70cm

    Then off the opposite side is the pulley for the Dipole 135ft center-fed dipole with ladder/open-wire line.

    You might need a beacon on top of that! Haha That's up there.
