OT: Just in time for the contest season

[WA6L]

After some heavy winds last night, I woke up to find out that I won't be participating in the NAQP contest this weekend.   Or the one on the following weekend for that matter.

If you would like to see what my tower looks like today, you can click on the link below for a couple of pictures.

No animals were harmed in the making of this mess.

I dunno if it is good news that the bottom sections of the tower are still usable. It's pretty clear from the damage that this tower system isn't strong enough for the prevailing wind conditions at your QTH.

Good luck on getting your system replaced. It's good to have insurance.
