From time to time I receive images of tower and antenna installations by radio amateurs.  In this posting we will be looking at recent installations in the Southern Cape area.  I included a few non radio amateur antennas which was also installed recently.  In the case of Broer Jan, he is an avid listener to radio amateur conversations in the Southern Cape.   I would like to invite radio enthusiasts to send me images of their tower and radio installations.  I will gladly publish the images in  Part 2.
