Jim, John, Simon and all...
There aren't any stupid questions, but lots of stupid
actions. (Doh! What was I thinkin'!)
Jim, along your lines, I learned very early in my ham
career, Never, EVER, try to disconnect an antenna
during a storm's approach. Was knocked clear across my
shack by a nearby discharge. Talk about knocking the
sense into you!
Second, measure, measure and measure again. Make sure
all the parts fit in the sequence you think they will
fit. I can vouch for the shear joy of trying to get a
part on a 5 element antenna that you had to pull out
of the rotor and attempt to balance in mid-air while
you slide on a part you thought would fit after it was
mounted. ;o) (It's even more fun if you're hanging out
in the middle of the ozone layer.)
Happy New Year to one and all! Hope to catch you all
OTA this year.
73,
Julius
