Time lapse video of WB0WOE Spirit Lake tower coming down

In the course of the cruel and unusual punishment that Old Man Winter has dished out for Iowa so far this year, the 146.61 repeater, maintained by the Iowa Great Lakes Amateur Radio Club (W0DOG Spirit Lake), had a slight tumble after a guy wire snapped during an ice storm.

The section of the structure that suffered damage was just recently taken down, and the club produced a time-lapse video of the process on what appears to be a very cold day on the frozen tundra of Dickinson County. It looked like quite a process, and I’m sure the weather made it much more difficult. Thank you, W0DOG, for braving the elements to set the repair process in motion for .61!
