The tower project was trucking right along, but it would need an antenna!
I had enough room in the workshop to assemble the boom as well as all
three elements of the Cushcraft A3S tri-band beam.
I ran into a little trouble with one of the tubing sections being a bit
out of round. I fixed it up as well as I could and then used a rubber
mallet to persuade it the rest of the way.
I also mixed up a couple of the tubing sections, even though the
instructions were clear, and had to tap them back apart.
In the end, it only took a couple of evenings after work.
I worked slow and double-checked all of my measurements (good thing, too!)
