This is a new site.  Power is three boxes of three twelve volt batteries charged by a 10 watt solar panel.  A beacon transmitter was installed.  The guys were fifty feet of chain going to boards 2 x 4 feet anchored in the snow.  Snow level after installation was 15 inches up on the tower at the level of the first rung from the bottom.  The site is north of the desired location but should be satisfactory.
