Dave,
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community...in addition to a
lot of fantastic info it is a fun read. I have tremendous respect for
your achievements...and ability to view an ice-damaged antenna without
throwing in the towel!
I grew up in W.Mass and only had a small TA-33jr on a bracketed mast,
and it was damaged by (falling) ice at a time in my life when I couldn't
afford to fix it. I got used to wire antennas, they were much less
expensive for a teenager to maintain. I also began to appreciate the
community aspect of ham radio you are so good at cultivating and
maintaining after I joined the Hamden County Radio Assn. (HCRA), they
were a great bunch of guys.
What I take away from reading your book is the value of careful project
planning and growing a ham community to participate in. The YCCC is
really lucky to have you!
Thanks for sharing!
