On Saturday 4th of August 2001 a team of R.A.T.S team headed for the Eyrewell fire tower to install the solar panels that will be used to power the repeater site.
Here is a small selection of photos taken on the day by Mike ZL3TMB.
Rats (Rescue and Technical Support) how are we going to do this? More thinking on how. Solar Panels almost at the top. Finally at the top, hold on tight to that rope. Team at the bottom doing the hard work! R.A.T.S team equipment trailer. Panels securely mounted at the top. Bill ZL3AHN drilling holes for the bottom mounts. Bill ZL3AHN checking the drill bit.
