Well, the rotator is on the bench, the tri-bander sets on top of the tower
held in place by C-clamps, the mast has been lowered to the point where the
7L 6-meter yagi is about 4 feet above the tribander, and that leaves the
144/440 arrays about 16 to 18 feet above the top of the tower. The only
thing holding the antennas above the tri-bander from turning is the boom to
mast clamp in the tri-bander. The mast is supported by a heavy duty
come-along. I'm in the process of replacing the coax to the UHF and VHF
antennas with Heliax and LMR 600 as well as fixing the boom truss on the
6-meter antenna.
This would not cause much concern except the forecast has high wind warnings
into tomorrow evening with gusts possibly as high as 60 MPH depending on
which forecast you view.
My fingers are crossed!
