Jeff Moyle was very much engaged in helping with the cleaning and preparation of the grounds around the house. Jeff's house is on the corner diagonally across this piece of land, which is almost 20 acres. He has a small Kubota, so already has good tractor experience. The land is flat, and at this stage, quite wet because the drainage of the water from it has not been carefully maintained. Jeff is carrying sand to this area and then smoothing it backwards with the bucket of the Kubota.
The large tank that Jeff is passing is the diesel fuel for the large marine three-phase generator which is in the generator room of the house. With the task of radio communications to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean and beyond, this radio station needed to be protected against power outages. The big yellow generator could be cranked up to supply power to the house and power for the transmission of radio signals over long distances. At top right you can see a high utility pole which connects to two sides of a large triangular antenna for radio broadcasts.
