I left the camera battery at the house the day of the install (DERP!!! -_-), so no close ups.

We'll be removing that Model 2 sometime next month so I can redo it and put it up somewhere else in the county. We are also going to fix that leaning radio antenna.

I have a question, can the county EMA last test the Model 2 on a Saturday (not this Saturday, but somewhere later next month) before removal?

Great job on that restoration!

When the 1st test of this thing occurs, I may show up to take some video of this guy in action.

Awesome work Jeb, and excellent photos to all who took them!

I will have to send this to the guy in Wichita Falls and let them see what this old t-bolt ended up looking like!
