December 2009, Tower Climb
On 5 December 2009, six hardy club members braved -20 degree weather to work on the repeater tower. Warren VE3FYN climbed, while Vic VE3AKX, Jason VE3PEJ, Paul VA3JSV, George, and Margaret, worked as ground crew (mostly retrieving gloves that fell off the tower). A four-bay folded dipole no longer in use was removed to be installed at the Town Hall VA3EOA station. Also a feedline (loaned from Vic) was raised and connected to the beam antenna that will be used for the Upsala link.
