On Saturday, July 21 a crew of MDXAers assembled at the QTH of Stan, N5UE to help him errect his new Force 12 tribander +40M. The ground crew was composed of Bob, AE5RM, Stan, K5NY, Bernie, KK5EW, Charlie, N5ZJ, Cliff, N5WI, Floyd, N5FG and Joe, N5ID plus a few of Stan's non-ham friends. Randy, W5UE assisted Stan on the tower. Everything worked flawlessly and we had Stan's TH5 down and the new Force 12 up in less than 4 hours, just beating the rain.
