Hi Jon,
I needed the lube Saturday morning. "Previous Day" shipping has yet to be
perfected. ;-)
A come-along would not've helped. The problem is with my Milwaukee Super Hawg.
I broke a lefthand thread bolt that secures the chuck. That prevented CCW
operation. I was able to get /most everything/ done and get the tower back up:
* Repaired a feedline problem w/ the 10m vertical.
* Tuned the 40m driven element on my C-4XL yagi closer to where I want it.
* Suspended my 40m dipole wire from the tower with another sidearm.
What I /didn't/ get done was to get the rotator for the yagi to work properly.
I was misinformed that I can deal with it from the ground. The tower will be
coming down again soon.
vy 73,
Bryan WA7PRC
