These photos were taken at the tower north of Sand Springs at the
750 foot level where the TRO's
receive antenna is mounted for the
146.94 & .88 repeaters. As the pictures show, we had an antenna
mount problem. These photos were taken Saturday, April 17, 2004
by Steve Miller - AA5V
NOTE: Ed - K5CRQ and myself (AA5V) replaced the receive antenna with a Hustler G6 144B on Saturday, May 8, 2004. Sorry, I have no pictures yet, but, I am planning another trip up the tower for some final maintenance of this spring and will make sure the camera is working before I go so you can see the nice looking antenna setting vertical at the 750 foot level.

| This was the way our antenna was leaning in it's mount. | Another picture of the lean of the receive antenna. |

| Just a snapshot off the north side of the tower. The little red speck on the ground is my Jeep and the burgandy speck is Doug - KC5ZQM's car. Doug was the ground crew today. | If you look closely you can see the brace that was bent on the mounting hardware. |

 |
| This photo was taken to show how I make more space to stand on at 750 feet. Lower the elevator top to the level of the platforms. | Looking directly out the elevator at the elevator control. |

| Whew! Back on the ground. Doug - KC5ZQM and his mobile. | My Jeep, the base of the tower, platform and elevator. |
