Antennas down making you feel "hamless"?

[@windstormer7711]

Sad news.. I hope you can be very quickly operational !

[@hamworldonline]

Thanks! Think I found remote location already, so in a couple of weeks I could be up and running again. 73, De Santiago

OOf.. looks like it took a beating.

[@hamworldonline]

Yes, it did. But fortunately it’s something that could be repaired.

Is there another type of antenna that would work better and hold up during tropical storms?

[@hamworldonline]

Actually this one lasted over 5 years and couple of storms/hurricanes. My bet is that a bird caused the first damaged to the cord which led to the storm doing the rest. I’m moving to a remote shack and using an Explorer 14 there.

Are you going to be able to repair it?

[@hamworldonline]

Yes. Already have the fiberglass to repair the broken element. All cords and Kevlar are fine. Will replace rings (for maintenance purpose). It should be good to go on the new location.
