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!)
