W7IU's three element Yagi SteppIR antenna reached the end of its service life after 17 years. It is being replaced with a hex beam. The first step is to remove the old antenna. On August 9th, we removed the old antenna. A few photos from that event are posted. More will follow documenting installing the new antenna.

W7RMH on the ground with KL0DT assisting with lowering the mast. It took some doing but Geoff "got er done." W7RMH now has to follow the "72 Rule." When you are over 70, you don't get more than 2 feet off the ground.

Geoff (KL0DT) and David (KI7H) celebrate successfully getting the SteppIR antenna on the ground. Everyone was relieved when all were safely back on the ground.
