Looking down from my brothers' airplane

65 foot gin pole pulling up a 120' tower with 35 feet of 2½ inch pipe inside the tower, which will be pulled up through from inside to give the tower a total height of 150 feet. The 120 foot level will be part of the sterba curtain array and the 150 foot will hold up two 40 meter bi-squares.

  

 120' of square tubing, to be a tower for the 20 meter sterba curtain array. To get it off the truck, first lift one end by hand and set it on the ground , then set the ladder up and lift it off the truck.  

120' feet of 3 inch pipe, to be a tower for the 20 meter sterba curtain. The 50 foot triangular tower section on the truck has the 120' tower wired to it, in order to keep the ends of the pipe off the ground.
 

120' tower is going up for the 20-meter sterba curtain.

 This 120' tower is the longest tower I have ever hauled on my truck.
