Topband: re" Saga of NP2J (very long)

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Oh Dan ! ! !

 

I was right there with you buddy, as you told your story, I could see in my
mind's eye, stuff that's happened to me like that too.

 

Just last year I raised my ZS6BKW (which is SO2R Radio #2's only antenna) up
by a fair margin, only to see the taller mast collapse some weeks later.  I
, too, had used "too thin" of a mast in 1 section.  I had deep snow and cold
as my problem, not heat, so quickly cobbled something together for the
winter (now the thing was lower than before.erghhhh) and then fixed it back
to normal height in the spring.

 

Thanks for sharing this story of yours.

 

Know that we've all (or most of us that are willing to admit it anyways)
been there.

 

CU (all of a sudden!) in CQWW SSB.  I am (temporarily) down to 1 left hand,
(and I am right handed) so it's gonna be a slow affair this weekend. L
