I COULDN'T CLIMB THIS TOWER
Here's a pic I took Friday of that same first tower we climbed in the original post. We had high reflected power again after only two days of repair. That band of yellow tape on the driven element of the antenna should have caught my fellow climbers eye but we missed it. It was down, which put a drain hole on the top of the element. The element was full of water, I changed it out. (antenna originally installed by another group)
Nice view from 120 feet and I worked out my soreness from the pegged tower attempt.
