Over with the wind

Everett Bollin – call sign WA3DVO, and a member of Post 75 in Glenarden, Md. – reports that the “stress of high wind gusts” brought down the rotor and antenna array outside his home in June 2016.
A picture shows equipment stretching at an angle over his backyard; Bollin mentions his “quad, 40 meter 4 square, Hy-Gain Hy-Tower, 6 meter beam and halo.” He had to conduct several regular nets he controls from the station at Post 275.
Happily, though, by November everything was “back into operation,” Bollin says.
