End of summer 2018 buying brand new radio IC-7300 to get "company" to an old one Kenwood TS-690S

Started in April 2018 with works on tower (painting, hardware etc) on tower ,excavations & building the base of the tower, deploying earth/lighting protection lines,building anchoring points..etc... Tower and antennas assembled & riesd up on day 05.10.2018 afternoon. The 17,5m antenna tower with Yaesu G-800S rotor (thrust bearings,wind shock assorber) and brand new HF LZA-10-5 antenna (10 element - 5 band 10-12-15-17-20m) with UHF/VHF Daimond X-300 antenna on top. Will be added soon inverted Vee antenna for 80m,60m, the weather station is in plan too. Below the tower and antenna on the tower fundaments will be soon builded the radio operator shack (abt 20mt/m2).Meanwhile also the "garden" project has run beside the tower poject too... so in my fruit garden a bunch of vertical antennas has arised up... 2x40m and 2x30m homemade fiberglass &tree supported vertical with elevated radials -both systems are phased and relay direction control...so in conjunction with allready deployed 80m full size horizontal Loop antenna and 80m tunable inverted vee antena they complete my litle home "antenna farm" with bands covered :
