Good morning. Today, like yesterday, we have a clear winter-like sky. The temperature is 5°C. This kind of weather will become less common in the coming season, so it's a rare treat. I took a wide shot of the 604m tree from the rooftop of our headquarters.

I had the day off yesterday. I was worried about the construction work, but I was relieved to see that the Gain Tower had not changed when I looked at it from the train window on the morning Sobu Line going down the Sumida River.

A dozen workers are attached to the steel pipes of the gain tower of the 8th antenna section. Ring-shaped rings, the same as those of the 7th antenna section, are being attached around the gain tower. About three can be seen. They are still in a semicircular shape, though. They appear to be the same shape as the antenna section just above, so I think the same antenna as the 7th antenna will be installed here as well. The usual yellow horizontal arm crane has also made an appearance.
