    Hey Mark,

           We have a few questions about this project and would like for a group of us to be able to communicate with you directly. Would you please send an email to helpdesk@rats.net? This will go out to our entire Elmer team, and everyone will be able to pose their questions and see the answers so we can avoid asking the same questions multiple times. Thanks

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I am communicating with some other members of the team to see if we can find a solution for you. Please give us a couple days, and hopefully we will have some suggestions.

    I am an older returning ham trying to setup an new HF station with a vertical antenna and I need to find a contractor to put the mount in concrete for me.   I have multiple disabilities and medical problems and can't do that work myself.  I can pay someone to do it.  I just don't know who to call.   Any recommendations for someone reliable would be appreciated.     

    I have got some schedule 40 aluminum that has already been cut for the base and a short mast.   I plan to use a tilt base so that I can walk the antenna up and down.   I think I can handle the actual installation of the antenna, but digging the hole and mixing and pouring the concrete I think will be too much for me.  

    Again, any recommendations would be appreciated.
