Really nice portfolio - especially like the "Canadian" stuff. Nice to see a bit "out of the ordinary" projects.
Best regards from Denmark

Bob, what is the story with the bottled water attached to the aerial?
Sorry, if the answer is really obvious...

Hi Matthew
They are empty water bottles attached upside down to the antennas so the crews can put chemical light sticks in them for night operations. You just bend the antenna down, unscrew the cap, pop in a chem-light and you're set. When the light dims, you just pop off the cap, the old light stick drops out and you stuff in a new chem-light. It's makes it easy to change colours too if you have to.
cheers
