I have the ECUs all wired and the new control cable connected. The Coax is connected to the driven element. Basically the antenna it done with the exception of attaching the elements.
Tomorrow I will test the function of each motor. The test pushes out about 6" of cable from each ECU as you test it then reels it back in. Once this is done the fiberglass elements can be assembled and the tower started to be stood up.
Tomorrow is the shopping day so I expect to do this later in the morning. If anyone would like to come over and watch, I'd appreciate the company. If you have a 2 meter HT with you, you can watch as each ECU is tested and relay to me what you see. Would save me running up and down the stairs.
This is the part of the assembly I'm most anxious about if something is wrong there's a lot of checking that needs to be done to find the issue. But if it's all right then it's onward and upward, (literally)
