Skybrokers de-installed a VertexRSI 9.0m Earth Station Antenna
Skybrokers de-installed a VertexRSI 9.0m Earth Station Antenna at Studio Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany in January 2013. With a three member team it took almost one week to remove the antenna from a 1-story building, dismantle the antenna reflector, load the parts into a dedicated truck and clean up the site. Nice project, executed smoothly and quickly. The antenna found a new home in the UK.
