Who lost antennas in the storm?

Shpongler

I lost an X300 2m/70cm antenna - Fibre glass shattered!!


Anyone else?

No problem here, Surprising given the intensity.

My Airband D777 is still up there, surprising as the mast is a 2 piece chrome curtain pole, jointed with a split and jubilee clip. hopefully the RG213 coax would work as a safety line as its routed up the middle of mounting pole.

the fiberglass pole holding up the baluns for my Windom and long wire came down this afternoon.

ah well, a sign that it's time to try that open fed horizontal loop that I have all the bits for.......

I lost my Diamond X510

Fiberglass snapped 2ft up from the base,

Thankfully it doesn't look to have damaged the element inside so I'll try to patch it up and see does it still work,

My Dual band Watson is a little drunken.


My multi-sat dish is pointing North East!


The discone on Chimney, 5m vertical and 20m horizontal end fed all OK.

Is your radio shack built into the house :-)

That isn't my radio shack. That is Utility Shed + Mechanical workshop at bottom of garden. Sat cables go in pipe under lawn to house.

I did have the Radios in there long ago. They are now here:



Edge of Radio Shack / Electronics lab with 20m horizontal wire and 5m nearly vertical wire feeds. Wood built against side of house. 5m wire supported by nylon builder's cord at top end to pole mounted on Gable (did have 2m beam and rotator, but it has been dismounted over a year).

This is what I woke up to the morning after St Stephens night storm!

I lost a VHF copper Jpole last week - So much work to do in the summer!

If your mast survived the storms then it could have been taller :pac:
