Replacement of the director element that decided to fall off the mount due to wind and non locking nuts.

Have you been able to tune the 6 m band eventually?

[@KO4AFL]

I can tune in the 6m band. I should probably add the 6m passive elements in. My choke that is mounted at the feed point doesn't work for 6m so i may mount a 6m antenna.

[@MishaDaBear]

Does that antenna auto rotate for lowering the antenna or is that a special device?

[@KO4AFL]

i have to set the rotor to east but the tilt plate keeps it level for lowering/repairs

[@MishaDaBear]

@@KO4AFL Is it mass produced or custom?

[@KO4AFL]

@@MishaDaBear custom made but there is a mass produced version from www.degendesigns.com look for nn4zz
