[MIham] Blind Ham Has Antenna Emergency

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Either Thursday or Friday some unkind human tore down both my 40 and 80 meter
double bazooka antennas. I discovered this today as I prepared to do the
Hallicrafters 40 meter Net. I had used them Wednesday evening late, so they were
operational then. They are on a forty foot tower 125 feet south of my house in a
woods. The 9913f feedlines are underground through pvc pipe and angled 15
degrees to prevent water retention. 	
	
It is my belief that this was done intentionally. There has been no weather
severe enough to cause both antennas to come down. 	
	
The actual portion of the IAC Double Bazooka antenna that mounts to the tower
was ripped off the tower. They had to climb the tower to do this. 	
	
I am totally blind and I live alone. I need to get these antennas operational
ASAP. If any of you can assist me to reinstalling the antennas, please contact
me. I am not asking for it to be done for free. I do not have a lot of money,
but I will be glad to compensate you. 	
	
thank you.
