SV: [Moon] Probably QRT for some time

[Rune Larsson]

Hi Ben,Kjell,Hakan
Vy vy sorry to hear abt all damages. I was lucky here and have the antennas
still up (so far).
What I could see after first storm some days ago, was that the antennas lean
about 5 deg.
Before yesterdays storm I turned the leaning side towards the wind to get it
back. (doesn´t work).
The fault is a bent 1.5m. 1,5" (37 mm) pipe from the rotator !! I will now
quickly change to 2".
That 37 mm tube is designed for TV-antennas, but not 8 of them like I have
for EME. Hi.
Rather easy for me as I have a sledge on the 15 m.tower and can take whole
system down to ground.
The temp. is also good with +5ºC. Normaly at this time of the year should be
20ºlower up here.

Hi Ben,
I am in the same situation, my 4x14 el on 144, 6m, 23cm and 70 cm yagis
are broken (23 magl). I will take them down by Sturday, and hopefully I
can repair them soon. Maybe I have to build a new rotator system as
well... Ideas for that are welcome.
