One final drive past the site for this year, the light was poor, so the pictures are not ideal.

Feeders installed. Possible the temporary structure is nearing completion or has been completed.

Next event at Emley Moor is antenna work on the concrete tower. I will try and gain pictures of the work when it starts.
