I guess you're referring to the photo on http://www.qrz.com/db/w6dsr showing the damaged log periodic. Many years ago after getting frustrated with Hy-Gain's toy ham rotators they sent me a commercial catalog. They made very heavy-duty rotators but I never wound up buying one. It appears that either your mast became unlatched or it fell during tilting. What a shame! It looks like you had other mechanical issues even before this. Many of us including myself have also had expensive antenna failures so don't give up just because of this. I assume that no one got hurt or killed and hopefully the towers, rotator and possibly the mast are still OK.

GL!

Hmmm, my VSWR came up a little high this afternoon, see my QRZ page to see

Actually, I shouldn't joke about it - I'm totally devastated.
