Tower Improvisation
     
print  rss 


It's not the sort of antenna installation a lot of radio engineers deal with, but in many corners of the world where it is too difficult or expensive or both to erect a tubular-steel structure, you make do with the best mast you can create ... as a group in Sarayaku, Ecuador, did with this mast made from a tree and raised by hand.

The installation is from 2007 and holds two VHF and two HF antennas that the town uses to link with a satellite Internet connection.

I would like to see the completion of the erection of the tower, but it stopped when it was at about 45 degrees. A nice close up of the actual antennas would have been nice too.

Where's the Tower? I didn't see one. As we only got the easy bit of the erection of the mast. What happened after that?
