Spiderbeam DamageSpiderbeam DamageSpiderbeam damage after mini tornado hit...The following photos shows the damage sustained to our 20/30/40 Meter Monster
Spiderbeam after a mini tornado went through the area on Saturday 19th January
2008. 2 elements were broken by the strong winds. The winds also picked up
some roof sheets that were stacked on the ground nearby and deposited them
over a large area. Luckily no damage to any other antennas or the clubhouse
itself. After much consideration by the members involved with the Monster
Spiderbeam build team it was decided not to rebuild the antenna. This was mainly
due to the many man hours required to get it back to a fully operational antenna
and the difficulty in getting it back on the mast again. It really needs to be
on a hazer system to make it easy to assemble and adjust when required.
