Recent
windstorms in the Phoenix East Valley damaged the 40-meter beam atop
the 100-foot tower at W8QBG. Repairs involved hiring a crane to
reach the antenna, ordering replacement parts from Hy-Gain and
mustering a crew for the appointed day. These photos document the
repair operations on that day, Saturday, July 1, 2009. (Click on
