Hi Mike. Seems like that's when the bad stuff happens. I went up the
tower to put a small 15 meter beam about the 20. Had a heck of a time
getting it up through the elements as it kept hanging up. Anyway, I
finally got it up and was pretty proud of my self. Cranked the tower
back up and then discovered I had hung the element up on the director and
turned it about 10 or 15 degrees. If I would of had someone on the
ground, they could have told me before I cranked it back up. Now I gotta
bring it back down and straighten out the mess. 73 and Merry Christmas
