Also there is some progress on building the big 6 mtr EME array (8 x 6M11JKV) on a mobile crane
The technical part of the crane-truck is more or less ready now.
I have uploaded a short movie impression of the 1st test ride on you tube.

We will now strat on the cabin of the truck and than continue with the tower.
