**My latest 'Antenna Farm modifications'
project still continuing December 2023-2024**

(About the Pic's and info below here)
And so.. my new continuing PROJECTS finally beginz once the weather is gets warmer!

As of December 18th, 2023.. Well.. since I first started the project over a year ago, have not got a whole lot done. Either been too HOT out, or too COLD out, and no people to help with my getting the thing up higher like I have been wanting too. Now that it is winter cold again, goin to be a while, sometime this year 2024, that I get back to the whole thing again. BUT.. there is also the possibility that I will be moving to a different place in town here, so I dont want to get too much up higher for now, or too carried away, until I know for sure if and when that might happen.
This is what I am eventually working towards doing style>>>
My total overall plan right now, will be to add a 2nd Cushcraft 13B2 to stack with my 1st one, whether I am here, or finally moved to my newer place. Going higher for now wont be my priority just yet. Getting the 2nd beam added to it is first process. I am eventually future planning on getting 2 more 13B2's and having 4 of them stacked and up as high as I can get them, over the course of next year. As usual.. time will tell..

As of February 4th, 2024, I just ordered another Cushcraft 13B2 for my 2nd beamer to stack up yonderz. Should be here sometime this next coming week. Then, it's just a matter of my getting the antenna boom assembled in the 3 sections it is, in home cuz it's warmer. Then, outside once it gets warm enough, to assemble the whole thing, check SWRs to match my other 13B2, lower it all down, and put the 2 on mast, and raise back up in air.
As usual.. time will tell..

This is the way everything looked like back in 2022 and 2024 nowdayz. Beam is at 40-45 feet right now.

Finally got my 2nd 13B2 antenna on February 9th, 2024. The 12ft boom that this antenna has, is in 3 sections. Will be eventually attempting to pre-assemble it all, inside home where it's warmer for now. Then when it warms up enough, take it all outside to finish assembly, check SWRs, etc. (No.. even though you might have noticed the 'Hygain' label on the shipping box.. it is not that! It is a Cushcraft 13B2 in there... well.. it better be:)

This is the box that on February 9th, 2024, got 2, 15ft, premade RG8X coax cables came it from DX Engineering people for the legs off the power-divider for my first 2 beams. (The RG8X coax is what I run on all my antenna's, FYI)
