A week after the hurricane my 17 meter element fell off my 12/17 
duobander.  The element to boom bracket rivets failed and the element 
slide off the boom.  Might be a good idea the next time you work on a 
Force 12 antenna that you use through bolts instead of rivets on the 
boom to element brackets.

Since I have older antennas, I was surprised to see that my 40 yo. 
TH-6DXX did not rotate on the mast and looked to be in prefect shape, 
with same swr as before.

The 160 meter inverted L and the 40 meter EDZ had no problems.
