[SJRA-Members] Remote HF station is down

[Albus Eddy]

 Hi Rick,     I am not sure if you are the correct person to ask, but I did have permission to use the remote station prior to the move. Today I attempted to access it and was told I needed to be granted access. If you are not the correct person to ask just let me know who is and I'll send them an email. Thank you, Al/KD2FGG

 If it pulled out of the housing then it was probably due to the amount of
tension on the wire required to keep it taut and clear the roof over that
long distance. I doubt heavier gauge wire will help as it will only make it
heavier. I think we need to  reconsider the routing of the wire in order to
cut down on the length of the anchor rope and overall distance.
Unfortunately no one has the the AV640 vertical in stock.

I’m not back in town until the 20th so if you guys want to get a crew
together to address this go right ahead. If not it will have to wait until
I get back.
Rick
