Joel W5ZN has some vertical arrangements that utilize 2 posts, with one vertical in-between themed a bolt put through them to facilitate laying it over for repair. There is probably a more technical term. You might inquire further...and then get in there and work 'em!!

Cut the damaged pole and put the hexbeam back up. 45 min job. :-)

 

Made barefoot FT8 contacts in VE3, KA9, EB3, RC1, SP6 on 20m, 12m and 10m. VE was reporting me at +20 db. 

 

I was receiving a strong A71 portable station but did not get any response. No one else seemed to be either. 

 

Will make plans to get it back up higher. Need a fold down mast. Will probably make one out of 4x4 posts ???

 

Just finished DXCC on Phone. Main goal is to finish up DXCC on CW (8 to go). This will get me there.
