Hi John (& everybody) -

I "cheated" and took down the flagpole during a lull in the wind. It does wobble a bit and I'd rather be safe than sorry. It's back up in time for Veterans Day!

Cheers & 73,
Paul, KM4PIH

GA folks, 

Hope everyone did okay during Nicole, 

it could have been much worse! 

Just out of curiosity, has anyone who 

has used a flagpole for an antenna, 

suffer any significant storm damage? 

If so, it might be helpful to future users,

to know what are potential trouble spots, 

to know what failed, how and/or why it 

failed, construction details, etc. 

Since the flagpole is such a popular antenna 

here, it would be nice to offer some thoughts

to new users based on the experience of 

others. 

73, 

John, NP2B
