I hope they came out OK. I just stood on the front porch and took them. The rope and wire to the left of the tower are part of a 900 foot long wire antenna, and was pulled up after the tones were present.
You can see the 17 foot stick, the bottom mount, and my pvc/poly lasso at the top. The feed point of the antenna is 120 foot on a 180 foot tower.
