[NLRS] Need antenna/tower work -- let's brainstorm

    My 1296 is giving me 2.5/1 SWR, and there's a problem with the antennas 
up 75-80'.   1296 was completely deaf in June and still is.  It's 
transmitting fine -- 10w out from my IC-910H no problem.   (Have the optional 
1296 module in that 910H)  Reflected power is 2 watts, so there's the 
problem.  My 2304 isn't working that great, either, with about 1.4/1 SWR, so 
I'd like to fix both, preferably before the UHF contest. 

    Called my tower guy and he's way booked next week. 

    So I'm asking about other tower/antenna work options for Monday thru 
Friday of next week, after Central States but before the ARRL UHF contest on 
Aug 1-2.  Does anyone know of any reliable folks who can get my work done on 
Monday, July 27 thru Friday July 31?   If there is an option out there, tell 
me about it and I can contact that person or company. 

    This may be a longshot, but hey, if I don't ask, I'll never find out. 

    I am not looking for cheap work, but work done right and on time.  That's 
the #1 priority. 

    Help! -- thanks. 
    73,
