TH6DXX on second tower.
COMMENTS: Tower with monobanders was rotated in "Armstrong" mode due to
cratered rotator. Rotation by 150 ft. long tether line attached to 1st
director of 20 meter monbander. TH6DX spun in winds and wrapped coax
limiting controllable rotation. Wire antennas down due to winds in
excess of 45 mph.
Still- a new points record for this station.
Luck to all:
Dave, W5WP (and David, KA1NCN)
