[K6BW] Damage at K6BW

[David Mueller]

The kids were at it again - sometime over the past two
days, some kids used wooden matches to melt all but
one of the antenna support ropes tied off at the base
of the tower.  As a result, the new 2el 40 and the 80M
half wave sloping dipole came crashing down.  The
other ropes weren't connected to anything on the other
end (that I'm aware of).

The 160M antenna was tied higher up on the tower, out
of their reach.  I should have done the same at least
with the 80, since that's one of the pulleys Bill
installed at the top of the tower, and will be
difficult to replace.

73, Dave N2NL
