[Icom] Strange IC-765 40 meter problem

Sun, 28 Jul 2002 16:03:09 -0400

Wait a minute!!!!

Two years ago I needed significant repair to my Log Periodic in February
in New England after a major ICE, WIND, SNOW storm.  It's a special
design feature of all aluminum antennas to require service in the worst
possible weather. [a stainless steel self tapping screw failed under the
ice load. A $0.15 part and two hours on the tower {cold hands}]
