Well, up until today I had a 50ft mast supporting an A4S and G1000DXC
rotator. Arrived home to find the mast bent at the first section and the
beam touching the ground. Luckily the beam is probably repairable, only
superficial damage but I think the mast is beyond economical repair.

I've still got the phased array for 40m and currently an 80m dipole on a
temporary 50ft gin pole type mast. I'll try and get some wire up for the HF
bands shortly but I reckon it will be spring time before I replace the mast
as the concrete base will need digging out.

Boo hoo   Chris G3SJJ
