Aerovane could not be removed.  The tower was leaning slightly to the north.  The barrel anchors did not have weights in them and were not actually anchoring the tower.  An snow anchor board to the wouth and an additional line to the battery box to the south west were installed.  The tower base was frozen into the ice which was doing the actual anchoring.  The snow must melt during the summer.  400 lbs of weight should carried out next year to anchor the barrels along with an entire boom assembly to replace the aerovane.
