With the antenna that was donated by a inactive ham, we started to re-build it. The antenna covers 3 amateur radio 'bands' and will be a great addition to the station versus a wire antenna. It was in good shape but needed cleaning and replacing of all wires.
Cleaning small parts with a wire brush and kerosene from a lantern. By the way, these lanterns are used all over for a light source.
New skills were learned by all who came to learn about amateur radio. This woman is stipping wire to be used in re-building the antenna.
New wiring was installed and in this picture the final connections were being made.
Anntena is assembled and using a test meter we could see that it is working ok.
