National Fallen Firefighters
Memorial Service


Issued on: October 2, 2020
Flags will be lowered Sunday October 4 from sunrise to sunset

On October 16, 2001, President George W. Bush approved legislation requiring the American flag to be lowered to half-staff on all Federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters. Public Law 107-51 requires this action to occur annually in conjunction with observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.

Nice going Bob.  Have you considered entering Assisted when there is a side competition like spelling Sequoia?
BTW, I made about 8 QSOs from The Land after Gary finished getting Echolink reconfigured.
See you tonight on the net.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and had a chance to partake in the CAQP. I S&P?d on and off for almost six hours to make 52 CW QSO?s.

They had a side competition to spell out S-E-Q-U-O-I-A by working special 1 x 1 stations. I managed spelling out SEQUOIA on 20M and only missed the ?S? to make it again on 40 meters. I missed K6S, N6S or W6S on 40 meters. Unfortunately you need to have 100 California QSOs to qualify for the Certificate. I hope some of you made it.

As the world?s second largest hamfest, we pride ourselves on delivering a high-quality event to our attendees and would not want to put on a show that is anything less than what the ham radio community deserves. After much deliberation, the difficult decision to postpone the 75th HamCation was made. It is with heavy hearts that we must make this decision. We had wished to see all of you next year in person, but the situation we face globally has made this challenging. Instead, HamCation will be moved to February 11-13, 2022. We are looking to host some unique webinars and a QSO Party for 2021. More information will be posted on our website soon.
 
For those who have already purchased tickets and spaces, we will be in contact with you shortly and will reach out to you directly. You will have the option to use your ticket for HamCation 2022, receive a refund or donate the funds to the Orlando Amateur Radio Club.
 
You can read ARRL and HamCation's joint statement  <https://hamcation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=83a5389e97a0511f97f9957c6&id=f2c0a7594a&e=ac91fafa71> here. We thank all of you for your patience and understanding during these times and are excited to see you all again in 2022.

Didn't expect to play in this one but those contest juices start flowing and
can't help myself.  Limited to an hour here and there - work what I can hear
as I tuned up and down the band(s) and then quit for awhile when most of the
signals were dupes.  Not much luck calling CQ.

A shame that, with COVID, there weren't any mobiles (that I heard, anyway).
Usually there's coverage of all counties in the Golden State.

Kept looking for 10M to open, but I guess I should be happy to work stations
on 15.  It may be getting better out there, but I haven't seen it yet.
Fingers crossed!

Glad we had a few guys working the contest - K3ZGA, WA4IKU, K2DM, K1CTR,
N0SMX.

I saw what Bob wrote about S-E-Q-U-O-I-A, but other than the checklist, I
can't find anything else about it.  Did work all on 20, but short S on 40,
and A and S on 15.

Nice going, Pete.  Even if there had been more mobiles, I imagine the
fires would have caused a lot of detours, not to mention making travel
through several counties off-limits.

Thanks, Ed.  Ralph, N8RW, also made that point.  Sometimes we fail to
connect what we watch on the news with real life.

Looking forward to mobiling with Wayne, N4FP, in the Florida QSO Party in
April.  Keeping fingers crossed that it will be possible.

I am a seasonal resident of The Villages .I am a resident of Florida,
spending 183 or more days in Florida, and spending summers in Virginia.
How do you seasonal resident people handle your official FCC station
address?  I.E, do you send in an FCC change of address when you move back
and forth to your seasonal locations?  Or, do you maintain an official
station location at your "main" address with no change of address when you
go back and forth?  Thanks

Subject: [TVARC] SATERN Net Will Activate for Hurricane Delta
Message-ID: <8680B49F-3078-4E5F-BF4F-0BD1187A733C@icloud.com>

Hi Members of TVARC?s MailList (especially those interested in emergency communications),

The Salvation Army Tactical Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) will be activated to handle OUTGOING traffic, if any, from the areas that may be impacted by Hurricane Delta.  Florida is NOT in any danger from this storm.  

You can help by monitoring the SATERN nets? frequencies because your ?extra ears? may help pick-up traffic that the Net Control Station (NCS aka ?Necos") cannot hear (due to propagation/conditions).  LISTEN to the NCS? instructions.

SATERN will be activated for Hurricane Delta. This will include the SATERN International 20m Net on 14.265 MHz (alternate 14.312 MHz), as well as the SATERN Southern Territorial 40m Net on 7.265 MHz. SATERN will be monitoring for any outbound emergency traffic, health-&-Welfare messages, including requests for assistance from both the areas of the Yucatan Peninsula & late from the Southern Coastal areas around Texas to Mississippi, but primarily Louisiana. No Inbound traffic or messages will be accepted.

Stay safe from COVID-19.

73,

Tony/K4QR

Message-ID: <0D02392A-2520-4A93-BDA3-8AE0C2058820@icloud.com>

Hi Members of TVARC?s MailList (particularly those interested in Emergency Communications),

According to ?The ARRL Letter for October 8, 2020,? several emergency, amateur radio nets are activating as Hurricane Delta approaches landfall in Louisiana.  You can read this ARRL e-newsletter by going to: http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter?issue=2020-10-08/.

Here?s a synopsis of those net activations (excepted from that ARRL e-newsletter):

The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN <http://www.hwn.org/>), WX4NHC <http://www.wx4nhc.org/> at the National Hurricane Center (NHC <http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/>), The Salvation Army's SATERN <http://www.satern.org/>, and the Louisiana Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) HF Net -- with support from the ARRL Delta Division and the Arkansas Section -- announced activations for Hurricane Delta.  HWN has activated on 14.325 MHz and WX4NHC monitors the same frequency.

FEMA has announced that Channels 1 and 2 of the 60-meter (5-MHz) band will be available, as necessary, starting on October 9, for interoperability between US Government stations and US amateur radio stations involved in Hurricane Delta emergency communication. ? Stations should yield to operational traffic related to Hurricane Delta.

Louisiana ARES HF Net plans to activate at mid-day on Friday on 7.255 MHz ?10 kHz during daylight hours and on 3.878 MHz (?3 kHz) at night.

HWN resumes operations on Friday at 1200 UTC on 14.325 MHz.

The International SATERN SSB Net (14.265 MHz, alternate 14.312 MHz) and the Southern Territory SATERN SSB Net (7.265 MHz) plan to activate Thursday through Saturday.


Stay safe from COVID-19.

Hope everyone had a good time with all the contesting opportunities this weekend. No barn burner results here, but, lots of time searching around for State QSO contacts. It keeps me in the thick of the State QSO Party Competition for 2020.

 

All Low Power with my 7300 and no paddles, all Straight Key, Cootie and Bug, about evening split between the keys.

 

NV QP                   2 CW QSOs         

AZ QP                    14 CW QSOs

PA QP                    26 CW QSOs

SD QP                    3   CW QSOs

 

SKCC WES            56 CW QSOs

 

K1USN SST          13 CW QSOs

 

The NAQCC annual celebration started today and I?ve got one of the call areas worked QRP, NA3/2. This event goes for until the 17th if you want to fire up your QRP CW rig.

 

Have a great week. Stay safe. 73,

 

Bob, K3ZGA

I had great fun this past weekend participating part-time in the Makrothen
RTTY contest with 68 contacts.  Some nice DX targets on the various bands.
Now, I have to find a way to auto-log RTTY contacts.  After the contest
ended, I had some great RTTY conversations as some people stuck around to
"talk" more at length.

This one usually gets a good deal of activity, but it didn't seem to be the
case this year.  Maybe conditions weren't good, at least to FL, or maybe the
competition with the AZ and SD QSO Parties.  Or just the lack of mobile
stations may have dissuaded some.

One situation I found interesting - the Philadelphia Eagles played the
Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon.  Of course, as a (not too happy)
Eagles fan, I watched the game instead of contesting.  But at halftime, I
quickly got on the radio and worked a bunch of Pennsylvanians.  I couldn't
help but wonder whether those stations popped up at the same time I did?

Hi Everyone,
	It was nice to see so many familiar faces Thursday night at the Zoom meeting. I mentioned a phone net, The Country HAMs, that I am on many mornings from 9am to 10am on 40M (7.225). They have a web logger that helps keep it all straight and an instant messenger for side comments. Due to the wide spread of states involved some stations cannot be heard but an SDR in Pensilvania usually captures them. I included the web addresses for both - hear you soon I hope.

> 
> 
> Arguments Against FCC Fees for Radio Amateurs
> 
> 1. Amateurs contribute to the public good. In many areas they provide an
> emergency communications backbone capability at no taxpayer cost. 
> Consistently we have witnessed storms and natural disasters completely
> wipe out internet, cellular, and other means of communication.  Radio
> amateurs often fill that void on an unmatched, flexible basis when
> needed.  One recent example is the California wildfires.  
> 
> 2. Unlike operators in other FCC licensed services, Amateur Radio
> operators by law ? domestic and international -- must eschew using
> their license for any pecuniary interest.  Amateurs are prohibited from
> earning or charging any money for any communications activity.  The
> expenses for their equipment and activities come out of their own
> pockets, with no opportunity for reimbursement or payment of any kind.
> 
> 3. The United States is experiencing a severe lack of RF engineers and
> expertise at the very time it is needed by the burgeoning wireless
> industries.    Amateur radio is helping to meet the deficit, but much
> more is needed and youngsters (High School and College-aged) are least
> able to afford licensing fees.  RF knowledge and related digital
> expertise is needed to maintain U.S. leadership in wireless industries. 
> At a minimum, young people (below the age of 26) should be exempt from
> the proposed license fees.
> 
> 4. Amateur radio is self-regulating.  (a) Amateur examinations are
> written and administered by radio amateur volunteers.  (b) Examination
> results and paperwork most often are submitted electronically to the
> FCC.  Electronic submission could be required if there would be a cost
> savings to the Commission. (c) Amateur radio educational classes are
> conducted by volunteers who by-and-large do not charge fees or tuition
> for teaching.  (d) The amateur service, in cooperation with the FCC?s
> Enforcement Bureau, has a volunteer corp that monitors the amateur
> airwaves and has programs that try to prevent their misuse before FCC
> involvement might be needed.  The amateurs also observe non-amateur
> signals both within amateur spectrum and outside it, and report unusual
> or suspicious signals.
> 
> 5. Amateur radio continues to be a source of significant technological
> innovation that should be encouraged, not discouraged. 
> 
> Some Suggestions
> 
> I do not recommend arguing that the $50. fee every 10 years, which
> amounts to $5.00 a year, will ?kill? amateur radio, even though as
> proposed this is for each covered application, which includes upgrade
> applications.  Tech-General-Extra  could be $150. if exams taken at
> different sessions, a substantial amount.  But it ?rings? the wrong
> way to say the whole service turns on $5./year for each licensee. If
> that?s all it would take ?.
> 
> The Commission argues that the charges are required by the statute.  The
> word used is ?shall?, which is mandatory, not optional.  But the
> statute does not set the amount, nor does it prohibit reasonable
> exceptions ? evidenced by the Commission?s proposal to exempt from
> fees administrative update applications based on policy grounds.
> 
> This is not ?aimed at amateur radio to kill it.?  There is a long
> history and precedent on charging fees for the licensing service
> involved, just as there is for passports, green cards, drivers licenses
> (issued by states), etc.  Better to make pertinent arguments on why the
> fees would impair the public benefits of the amateur radio service than
> argue that the whole service might die as a result of a fee that, in
> fact, is less than the fee many of us paid in the 1960?s and 1970?s,
> including myself as a struggling high school and college student (if
> adjusted for inflation).
> 
> For background: this proceeding is being handled by staff unfamiliar
> with amateur radio.  It is being handled in the FCC?s Office of
> Managing Director (OMD), not in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
> where the amateur-specific Part 97 matters are handled.  The focus of
> OMD is accounting ? budgets and the like for the entire Commission. 
> The fee proposals cover every FCC license and service across the board
> and the consideration was directed by Congress.  I recommend keeping

All,

 

Heading back to OH and have some items I would like to sell before leaving.
If they don't sell, they make the trip with me and then go on QRZ, QTH, etc.
I didn't put any prices, so if you're interested in something, please ask.
I'll do research at that time as to the price it sells for new and what I
can find it goes for used.  I try to be fair and do a fair amount of
research before pricing, and it does take time.  Here's the list, there
could be more:

 

AirSpy HF+ Discovery SDR Gen Coverage Rcvr

MFJ-998RT Full Legal Limit Remote Tuner

Begali CW Machine w/all manuals

Several CW learning books

Begali Sculpture Iambic dual paddle

Vibroplex Iambic dual paddle

EZ Keyer - AA0ZZ Four State QRP Group

Fred Cady Elecraft K3 Book

Flex 6700 w/hand mic and Ver. 2.x SSDR

W2IHY 3x4 Coax Switch Plus-allows me to run up to three radios into one amp

Elecraft KX3 loaded w/key, hand mic, tuner, battery compartment, clock,
Buddipole Lithium-Ion Nanophosphate battery pack and universal charger,
Radiosport headset adapter cable

Elecraft KPPA 100-watt Amp w/built-in tuner

AlexLoop (QRP mag loop antenna) by PY1AHD w/tripod and picnic table PVC
stand

West Mountain Radio TARGETuner (for in auto w/screwdriver antenna) - never
taken outta box!

Classic 1988/89 Realistic TRC-42 Emergency CB Radio

B&W Six-position Model 375 Coaxial Selector Switch

B&W Six-position Model 550-A Coaxial Selector Switch

Comet CP-5M Universal Lip Mount w/SO-239 connector

MFJ-263 300-Watt 3GHz Dry Dummy Load - like new

Anytone D858 UHF DMR/Analog HT, drop-in charger - like new

CSI 700 UHF DMR/Analog HT, mic/speaker, drop-in charger - like new

 

All items except for the 998RT, B&W switches, CB, and Comet mount are in
excellent condition.

 

Thanx for looking.

Subject: [TVARC] Comments on the FCC proposal to charge $50 for license
	activities
Message-ID: <023101d6a4de$7359ac80$5a0d0580$@comcast.net>

Fellow TVARC members,

 

All of you who are ARRL members should have received an email from our
Southeastern Division Director, Mickey Baker (N4MB), about the FCC proposal
to begin charging a fee of $50 for amateur radio licensing activities (new
licenses, renewals, etc.).  Club members spoke with Mickey when he was a
guest at out September club meeting on Zoom.  At that time Mickey asked us
to hold off on sending letters to our congressional representatives until
the proposal had been published in the Federal Register.  That criterion has
been met, so it is now time to voice our opinions about this Notice for
Proposed Rulemaking.

 

Mickey's email to ARRL members included some talking points.  If you are not
an ARRL member, and therefore, did not receive Mickey's email, TVARC member
Tony Hackenberg (K4QR) forwarded the email to all members of the TVARC
reflector.  Therefore, I am not going to include Mickey's email here.
Instead, I am including a copy of a letter that was composed by TVARC Board
Member at Large, John Ellis (NP2B), that you can customize and mail to our
three representatives in the U.S. Congress.  If you choose to do nothing, so
be it.  But if you want your opinion heard, feel free to modify John's
letter, adding or removing talking points as you see fit.  Make sure that
you include your name and address in the appropriate spots.

 

I for one am not particularly excited about having to pay a $50 fee next
time I renew my license.

 

73,

George Briggs, K2DM

TVARC President

Message-ID: <CAGY28HrM14OT-aHjzZ2-Vhea+JWy+ZvR+Qhr3dYXHMgOg2JJCQ@mail.gmail.com>

Did anyone work the JARTS RTTY contest this past weekend?  The bands seemed
to stay solid all during the period with much DX and a lot of activity on
all bands, including 10 meters.  I did not spent a lot of time working it
but managed to get 142 QSO's.

The Cabrillo log system is new to me, I have been out of contesting for
quite some time.  I managed to transfer my HRD logs for the contest to a
Cabrillo format using the HRD Export facility.  But, I can't figure out how
to put the required exchange (your age) so it shows in the Cabrillo
format.  HRD logbook seems to have a place (box) for it right after the
RST, but the values put in that space do not show on the Cabrillo log.

I have yet to incorporate N1MM Logger+ with MMTTY.  The learning curve is
steep so I will try to find personal help when I get to The Villages in the
coming weeks.

I don't expect to be competitive but I am using this as a learning
experience using the Cabrillo system.  This far I have failed!!

Steve,

 

Here is a link to some log converter programs.

https://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Software/Log_Converters/

Export from HRD to ADIF, and then apply that file to the converter program. If you are missing any fields after the conversion, you can always use a find/replace function in most text editors to add the field to the new file.

Get on N1MM+ as soon as you can. There is a lot of help and tutorial explanations on the N1MM+ web site. A lot of it is automatic once you get started.

FYI ? I use HRD when not contesting. Trust me when I say I tried the ?contest mode? in HRD. It really is cumbersome and flat out does NOT work well. As for logging, after a contest, besides the Cabrillo log I generate from N1MM+, I also export the ADIF file that I then import into HRD so my HRD log has ?all? my QSOs.

 

73, Rich, ND4G

Hey everyone,

I let GMail's autofill do my thinking for me earlier today when I meant to
send out a notice to The Villages Astronomy Club, and it sent it here
instead.

Whoops!

But, anyone who is interested is still invited!

The Villages Astronomy Club has waived all dues for the next year, so
anyone with an interest in TV full time or part time is welcome.

My apologies for the confusion.

Thanks Rich.  I have begun to research next step.  But, I have to take down ?shack? for now to move to TV for the winter. The first priority will be an antenna of some kind. Will continue the build once settled in.  Great help, thanks.

WOW!  There has been a lot of activity so far.  Fifteen items have bids
already.  Some of them have multiple bids.  Total revenue to this point is
well over $700.

If you haven't done so already, check out the items for auction at:

This came to me on the Frankford Radio Club reflector.  I think it is pretty
cool and informative.

Subject: [TVARC] CQWW SSB DX contest is this weekend
Message-ID: <072301d6a96b$60c4e6c0$224eb440$@comcast.net>

Clubmates,

 

The CQWW SSB DX contest begins at 8:00 Eastern time this evening and runs
for 48 hours.  This is the contest where everyone can work everyone, but
contacts with stations in your own country count zero points - they may be
good for multipliers, however.

The exchange is a signal report plus your CQ zone number.  For all of us in
Florida our zone is 05 (five).  So we would send something like "Thanks, you
are 5-9, 05" or simply "5-9, 5".

Check out the rules for details:  https://www.cqww.com/rules.htm

Have fun!

73,

George K2DM

ARRL Urges Members to Join in Strongly Opposing FCC?s Application Fees Proposal

ARRL will file comments in firm opposition to an FCC proposal to impose a $50 fee on amateur radio license and application fees. With the November 16 comment deadline fast approaching, ARRL urges members to add their voices to ARRL?s by filing opposition comments of their own. The FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) MD Docket 20-270 appeared in the October 15 edition of The Federal Register and sets deadlines of November 16 to comment and November 30 to post reply comments, which are comments on comments already filed. ARRL has prepared a Guide to Filing Comments with the FCC which includes tips for preparing comments and step-by-step filing instructions. File comments on MD Docket 20-270 using the FCC?s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).

Under the proposal, amateur radio licensees would pay a $50 fee for each amateur radio application for new licenses, license renewals, upgrades to existing licenses, and vanity call sign requests. The FCC also has proposed a $50 fee to obtain a printed copy of a license. Excluded are applications for administrative updates, such as changes of address, and annual regulatory fees. Amateur Service licensees have been exempt from application fees for several years.

The FCC proposal is contained in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in MD Docket 20-270, which was adopted to implement portions of the ?Repack Airwaves Yielding Better Access for Users of Modern Services Act? of 2018 ? the so-called ?Ray Baum?s Act.? The Act requires that the FCC switch from a Congressionally-mandated fee structure to a cost-based system of assessment. In its NPRM, the FCC proposed application fees for a broad range of services that use the FCC?s Universal Licensing System (ULS), including the Amateur Radio Service. The 2018 statute excludes the Amateur Service from annual regulatory fees, but not from application fees. The FCC proposal affects all FCC services and does not single out amateur radio.

ARRL is encouraging members to file comments that stress amateur radio?s contributions to the country and communities. ARRL?s Guide to Filing Comments includes ?talking points? that may be helpful in preparing comments. These stress amateur radio?s role in volunteering communication support during disasters and emergencies, and inspiring students to pursue education and careers in engineering, radio technology, and communications.

As the FCC explained in its NPRM, Congress, through the Ray Baum?s Act, is compelling regulatory agencies such as the FCC to recover from applicants the costs involved in filing and handling applications.

In its NPRM the FCC encouraged licensees to update their own information online without charge. Many, if not most, Amateur Service applications may be handled via the largely automated Universal License Service (ULS). The Ray Baum?s Act does not exempt filing fees in the Amateur Radio Service, and the FCC stopped assessing fees for vanity call signs several years ago.

See also ?FCC Proposes to Reinstate Amateur Radio Service Fees,? reported by ARRL in August, and a summary page of the proceeding at www.arrl.org/FCC-Fees-Proposal.

A friend from high school that used to sit with me in dad's basement while making contacts 45 years ago got his general earlier this year and has setup a station.  He bought a used Ameritron 811H amplifier and is concerned the tubes are on their last legs.  He got some advice on replacing with 572B tubes.  I have no experience with these amps but from some web searches the 572B is said to be more robust but might require some mods to the amplifier.  Any advice for my friend Ron KC3PUV on the tube change and if mods are required, also a source for the 572Bs.  DX Engineering is out of stock indefinitely and he is leery of the Russian version.  Thanks.

Richard,

Lots of folks use the 811 or 811H, so I am
responding to the group. The 811 tube has
4 pins on the base, just like the 572. The two
large ones are for the filament, one of the small
ones is for the control grid. I have seen where
some 572s use the *other* pin for the grid and
some use both pins paralleled. So, if you swap
the 811s for 572s, just be aware of that anomaly.
Running a jumper between the 2 pins of all 4
tubes should work.

If 572s are not available, 811s or 811As  should
work fine, that's what the amp was designed for.
RF Parts Co. is another source. If you strike out
on both of those, any of the larger ham radio dealers
should have a source. Remember, there is just not
too much demand for vacuum tubes these days
so there is not much incentive for people to make
them. I had good luck with the Russian ones.

John, NP2B

FWIW: before he sends his checkbook off the deep end, let me suggest tht he attempt to condition the old tubes. (I've built a lot of amplifiers, mostly with ceramic tubes, and this can resurrect a surprising number). First, reseat all tubes and make sure the rest of the amp (and power supply) is all in one piece. Then, run the filaments alone for at least 24 hours. Then turn on bias and B+, no drive. Have a dummy load on the output. Don't let it oscillate. Another 24 hurs. Then, very low drive; maybe 10-20 watts out (into a dummy load), 24 hours more. Make sure each tube is doing the same thing. Then crank up the drive and see what happens.

Thinking about buying a 7300?  Lots of TVARC members have one and love it.
I happen to have two of them, but I am an Elecraft K3 kind of guy, so the
7300s are excess to my needs.

The first one I am offering for sale is in excellent condition.  It has the
original box, manual, microphone, DC power cord, and accessory plug.  It
comes with my personal guarantee.

 

Right now you can buy a new IC-7300 from GigaParts or from DX Engineering
for $999.95 with free shipping.  The median price of the last five 7300s
sold on Ebay was $930 + shipping.

 

I am offering my IC-7300 to TVARC members for $910 delivered.  First come,
first served.

Message-ID: <CAGY28Hp697gNwWMXsY6DAotsRipUJFfx9E1ofPMb0dimMV=hLA@mail.gmail.com>

We are TVARC members (my wife, N4LMD is also a member), and we have been in
The Villages for several years (FL Resident).  Just prior to coming here
for the winter, we decided to try to get on the air here. We have been
working HF from our summer residence in Virginia.  We are in a Courtyard
Villa (Villa Berea, Polo Ridge, near the Polo Fields) with the Glenview
golf course out our back with no houses in sight there (nature preserve).
I reviewed lots of HOA antenna possibilities, including the ones on the
TVARC Web Site.

Before I go crazy trying to reinvent the wheel, is their any member who
would be willing to give me advice on antenna possibilities?  We want to
work HF 10-40 Meters. We have limited areas for a "flag pole".  I am sure
there has been quite a bit of brain power put into how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Members of TVARC?s MailList,

Several weeks ago, my flagpole antenna was toppled (cracked at first joint) by a strong gust of wind during a thunderstorm.  A major contributing factor to this failure was the ?Dura-Flex? flag that trapped and held water making the flag weigh a lot more than normal.

Just recently, after three (3) days of intense work, I?ve re-installed a new flagpole antenna.  See photo below/attached (assuming it survives the Maillist?s rules). So, now back to re-assembling the ham station.  Should be back on-the-air soon.
