During the last storm, Steve's antenna took a hit. A quick call went out to the club and a bunch of the guys pitched in to help with the repair.
Steve lured the club members to his place with donuts, breakfast taquitos, coffee and orange juice.
The telescoping pole made getting the antenna down and up a little tricky as the pole had to be kept vertical or it would be destroyed. The antenna snapped at the insulator section requiring a new insulator to be formed out of schedule 80 PVC. In addition, a new bushing was machined out of bronze to insure the antenna fit tightly on the mast. What was expected to take 2 hours turned our to take 5. In the end, the job was completed putting his station back on the air. A big thanks to all of the club members who participated.
