Weather: Hot and humid, scattered cumulus and cirrus throughout the day

Tasking:

  • Built 10m Initiation Tower
  • Sourced missing hardware for outfitting towers

Issues:

  • Concerns about people driving under guy wires and accidentally clipping one. Current solution is flagging and using vehicles to block route but more permanent solution may be necessary

Weather: Last two days have been hot and humid with stratocirrus early followed by scattered cumulus midday through the evening.

Over the past couple of days:

  • Built the 20m Lower Convergence Tower. Preliminary plumb and tensions complete but will be repeated in the near future due to tower settling
  • Built the 20m Release Tower. Preliminary plumb and tensions complete but will be repeated in the near future due to tower settling

Issues: There is no apparent line of sight to the base trailer or Scattered Acres. We may need to rework method of communication with ISP if Ubiquiti link is not viable.

Lucas left this morning, big thanks to his help and insight!
