Antenna Trailer: Otto finished priming and painting the trailer yellow. He purchased a piece of plywood for the deck. The base of the tower is hinged, bolts have been welded in place and the tower sections have been color coded for ease of assembly. We need a fully and lanyard to haul up a dipole antenna and the trailer needs new tires. Also, the generator still needs a gas tank. Other than that, the antenna trailer is good to go.
