I am out on the antenna, but I will look into the tower sections.

from David (N8IT) a while back...

The Drummond Island 2m repeater freq is 147.96. It was issued on Sat, May
7 and we have 180 days to have it operational.

Basic antenna info, a 2.5 inch mast about 22 foot tall, weight around 40
lb and the wind load under 4 sq ft. Here is an antenna that a local club
has:

A good used duplexer will run $300 to $500 plus shipping. They
weigh from 50 to 75 lbs, so shipping can be high. The transmission line
only needs to be 1/2 inch hard line and we will need 6 connectors. The
repeater needs to be able to run 50 watts continuous output.

Where are we at on this, will it be up for DOA.

There is a good chance it will be online for DOA but maybe in a temporary fashion.

Waiting on crystals for the radios right now. I think steel cable for the guy wires is the most immediate need, and/or cash.
