144 EME Tower

The summer is running out but the work is under way to be able to be active as soon as possible via EME in 144MHz.

Today I finished the plate that will go to the top of the tower of 6m, missing only the fixing holes that I will do on the spot at the time of assembly with the help of 5B4ALR Stelios.

the plate was first cleaned with nitro solvent than

treated with Ferox, a specific product to convert iron rust.
Between the preparation and painting a bit ‘of rust had been created!

At the end … painted with 4 coats of white varnish paint for metals !

 

Ready to be fixed up !!!!
