On the surface, according to the rules as stated, methinks you are right,
Paul. But is slinging a fallen antenna back into it's original place
really an "adjustment" (vs. trimming or adding wire to achieve a desired
resonance & SWR)??? Hmmm. The Contest Lawyer's have gotta love this kind
of hair-splitting example.
BTW, I wish it were as easy to work you in SS as on this Reflector :-)
