[TowerTalk] High VSWR

[john at kk9a.com]

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.
