I'll need a tower-climbing partner (or two!) to help get the dish antenna (<20 kg, but bulky) up the tower, and to help mount it. It will also be helpful to have one LTER employee available back at Shirley House if we get the rig working on the tower. It may be necessary to return Wednesday, depending on what else is wrong on Broadwater Tower. We may well discover on Wednesday that we need to replace batteries on Thursday. In that event, I would definitely want a muscular helper. |
