Thanks for the link, Wes. Yes, the process was interesting to follow. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger though, Doug -- over not very many years, K5RC has had a lot of trouble keeping his 3-el 80M yagi at 175 ft operational at W7RN.

And here's another thing on which Wes and I agree. I know a lot of hams who have had a lot of fun with far less mechanically heroic antenna farms.

Doug, I'm sorry about your loss.  But if the mast isn't bent, which the one post-failure photo I've seen (Dave I'd like to see the others) seems to indicate, then you still have tower, rotor, and mast.  I'd put up a less heroic "ham-style" stack and get on the air.
