[ADXA] Suddenly T2X problem at N5QJ

[J. Setcer]

I was being Facetious to relieve my stress. But Seriously,,,
I do think it just spun in the bracket. We had some Monster storms right
about then.
I am pretty sure I did NOT pin the mast. I have always thought it is better
for it to spin/slip, than for something to snap/break.

Thank You guys for your words of wisdom.
Just for good memories... The tower, Hazer, Mast, & 40 meter Yagi I bought
from Mrs. Paul Wynne AF5M, After Mr. Wynne passed. I promised her I would
Never sell it & I won't.
