Several years ago my friend Heinric DJ6JC (sk) offered me five 3m (10 ft) sections of a 40m (135 ft) steel lattice tower made by his company Willer & Billerbeck (WIBI).

After many years with provisional antennas (and damaged cables while cutting grass in the garden) I decided to reactivate, restaurate, new galvanize and modify some sections for my antennas. The goal was to tilt-over the tower for easy installation and service.

The following pictures shows some of the work done during my summer holidays 2006.
