[ADXA] My Weather story

[EJ Jones]

Seems like a lot of us are having weather related stories.  My 160 m array quit “arrayin” Yesterday. No directivity.   Did some checks on continuity of the control cable and got Some high resistance values consistent with leakage and a broken cable. I have about a 400 foot run to the base of the tower.  We we still have several inches of snow on the ground that is covered with a sheet of ice so I started at the base of the tower and worked my way in to the house, breaking the ice and inspecting the cable.  Everything Looked good until of course about 5 feet from where it enters the house. See picture.  These varmints like the ice covering so they can run wild under that chewing anything in their path. Did the repair and now it’s working.
73’s in good DX
