First thing we did was position the tower trailer and Dave's truck, We then put my truck and tilt over mast in place & setup the 6M tent so we had a place to get out of the wind and sun to take a break while setting up.
When I went to bed at 10:30 PM, Six meters was assembled and ready to play with only a minor antenna adjustment needed before contest time. Dave stayed up till 5:30 AM assembling the 144, 222, & 432 antennas, prepping the tower trailer, and setting up the radio and amplifier..

It's important to properly setup the Generator to minimize any
risk of fire and leave water and a shovel nearby just in case.

| A good warning to the curious is helpful too... |
