Today was a great day to get my tower completed and the vertical erected on top.  I rented a 45' Genie man lift and with a little help, the job went very smoothly.  The bands are a little narrow on 40M and 80M but I have a second antenna project in the making after I'm finished here.

I ordered two 6' sections of wiring loom for my shack and was hoping to get that connected today but the looms are stuck in the Purolator sorting centre in Toronto.

A special thanks to my friend Jeremy (VA3JL) and his son Peter.  Here are a few pictures of today's adventure.  By nature, I have a fear of heights but I definitely overcame it today!
