Starting to build three 30 foot tall towers for the temporary big antennas - I have a bunch of 3" diameter electrical conduit from another project and these are rigid enough when supported with some guy wires. I am putting some pulleys at the top with a loop of rope so I can raise and lower different antennae. Three towers will give me a North/South and an East/West orientation. I am wanting to get some 60 foot tall telephone poles but these are expensive to buy new and not that common an article to scrounge..
Also cleaning up around the farm - rented a dumpster a few months ago and it has proven to be a Godsend - I have a lot of crap that is of no commercial value, that I have been unsuccessful in giving away and is just cluttering up the place. Time to make it just go away...
Spending tomorrow doing more of the same.
I built a pair of support towers a few years ago using 2x4's. there used to be a drawing in one of the old ARRL Handbooks. Basically you bolt two of then 2x4's to the third one with a bit of overlap, then spread the two apart and racecourse them. With 16 foot lumber, you get a 29' support.
