We were finally able to get to the Lex to work on the new antennas on May 22, 2010. We wanted the antennas to be in good shape for Museum Ships Weekend that was coming up.

Those who helped are: Michael - KC8YSR, James - AD5TC, John - KF5GLB, Larry - W5LDB, Tom - K5BV, Bill - KD6SVJ, Albert - KF5ARJ, and Steve - W2MY.
