Today we where pouring 40m3 concrete for the guy posts and the feet for the towers.
Jan PA0VAJ, Hilco PC1CP, Peter PA4PS, Thomas PA1M and Jan-Fokkern a local farmer helped me. For the job Jan-Fokken brought his shovel.

We used a shovel with a kubel to transport the concrete from the road to the field.
Today Jan PA0VAJ was here to help me to place the H Poles for the towers on their place.
The only thing we have to do is align them.

Today the excavator driver made the field ready.
After that he digged me the 9 holes for the guy wire posts. 8 “small” ones and on big one.
We made it sloping from the house to the field
Nice done
water is already in
The bottom is sand and that good
The contracter who is doing the field had problems with the excavator.
The last part of the ditch has been dug and after that the excavator died again. The contractor brought in another excavator to finish the work. The ditch next to the house is now almost closed. Some other work has to be done. Hopefully this will be ready after the weekend.
