This one, on June 5 2011, at 1052UTC, looking down from the top of the 24M tower, of our 6 element QQ for 20M, which had a
rotator successfully installed, Thursday August 11 2011.
Our FIVE STAR tower master, Dag SM0KDG, did a fantastic job, together with a remarkable mobile crane operator, simply amazing.

One week later, August 18, we again safely brought our 3 element 80M yagi down to the ground, for an overhaul.
Again, with both Dag SM0KDG and our young tower phenomenon Mattias SA0AZT working for hours at the top of the 40M tower to
loosen the yagi and prepare for to by our controlled operation bring it down. DONE. THANKS very much indeed, to everyone involved
at the site, including the ground crew: SM0T Tore, SM0CXU Thomas, SM0W Teemu, SM5F (SM5BJM) Johan, SA5BDS Patrik!
