How to fix DSP-100 problems (NEW) in Questions answered #3

Putting the SteppIR in the air

Tram is still letting the antenna kind of sit on the roof while adjustments were being made

Steve putting more tension on the tram line, which will raise it off the roof and allow the take up line to pull the antenna up the tower

As the tension on the tram line increases and the take up line is pulled the antenna goes up the tram line

Shep the real boss of the project. His bark is much worse than his bite. He would rather just lay in the sun

When we put the control cable to the rotor and tested it, there was a problem. I had tested the rotor on the ground but evidently while it was being put on the tower, a pin in the connector came lose. I had just fixed it and Steve K7LXC and Jeremy of Tower Tech take a break.

DONE, with the 2 meter antenna on the top. After initial testing it seems to work just great with an SWR of close to 1.1 to 1  on all frequencies I work.
