[600MRG] And the Antenna - came - Crashing down!

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi all:

Ever said - I'll do that when I get a " Round TUIT " ? Well, this evening after work, I thought I would do some rearranging
of my antenna top loading before it got dark.. It wouldn't take that long, and I had 3 hours of daylight left.. Uhhh Yeeahh..
Long story short; one thing broke - then another thing broke - Finally, a key piece at the top of the main mast broke,
and the entire antenna came crashing to the ground.. hmmm .. Well, at least I found my " Round TUIT " .. The mast
is on the ground now, ready to be extended to 45 feet.. ( No need to put it off any longer ), put fresh guy ropes on it..
Rig the mast for pull up ropes and all the needed stuff for the extra 15 feet of height.. round up a couple of extra people
and get it back in the air... The majority of this PVC mast and antenna has been in the air for over 12 years, and over
those years I have been adding on to it here, and there, extending this and moving that. So, this is a good time to
" re-do and make it new "... In the meantime, I am listening on the Aluminum Window Frame and giving reports on
WSPR, and JT9 thru PSK Reporter..

73 all and have a good weekend:
