It occurred to me that I haven't seen very much compiled information on HF
Yagi antenna failures. I'm interested in data about HF Yagis or LPs of yours
that have failed due to wind, ice or whatever.
I'd like your stories in the following format, if you would, please:
Type Failure How failed Cause
KT34XA Boom Boom broke upward at center Updraft wind
HG 40-2 El clamp El clamp bent, vee'd refl broke boom 110 mi/h wind
155BA El tips Tips bent, ropes fell out Ice, 100 wind
205BA El joint El fell out of inner joint Hose clamp
40-2CD El-boom El rotates on boom El-bm clamp
10M7 Boom-mast Bm-mast plate broke off Fatigue crack
205BA El tip Tip fell out Tiny hose clmp
TH7 Feed Feed strap fatigued, broke Boom twist
All of you contesters must have similar experiences. I thought it would
help focus new work on antenna design to have some anecdotal records. If you
want to add comments or details, please feel free.
Reply to me at dleeson@mcimail.com, or if you're on MCI Mail: D. Leeson.
Please don't use reflector bandwidth for replies; I'll summarize.
Thanks de Dave, W6QHS dleeson@mcimail.com
