The King has risen.
With the help of a 25 ton crawler excavator equipped with a hydraulic rock breaker, a 2.5 m deep hole was broken into the solid rock. The 27 metre long pole weighing 3 tonnes was then inserted into the hole and secured with rocks around the base and temporary guy wires.
New guy anchors will be inserted into the rock and the King will support a 160M transmit vertical antenna before winter.
The photos were taken by Finnbjörn Bjarnason using my camera.
