Work done - ready to go !!
Installation took around 4 1/2 hours with the help of my friends Manfred (HZ1IK), the Filipinos Willy and Alberto. The assembly has been quite easy and straight forward. All parts were fitting well only some screws were missing. After changing the chip in the controller and some length adjustments the SWR on all bands were better than 1:1.5 - No hassle at all.
