Thanks to all the people who have come up to FMC over several weeks to get
the TH-11 up and working.

Today we had planned on having to tip the antenna to make repairs, but
Randy, N4QV was able to stretch out and fix the antenna without having to
remove the antenna from the mast and tip it up at an nagle.

It was very windy up there, and he and Gil really had to hang on to get the
job done. But the SWR curves on all 5 bands are normal for the antenna, and
we are now in business to work Scaffold Reef and any other DX that club
members want to work.

Thanks for all who were standing by on the roof today-- Kappy, Joe, Don,
Mike, Scott, Jim, and up the tower Gil and Randy.  Thanks to Hope who sat
with Randy's two boys, who were not allowed up to the radio room !  What
gives with that?

73,  PeteR
