With much "tree trouble" I got the tower tipped over and the elements off. It looks like all three ECUs will need service again. Also going to send the box back to get checked, a software upgrade and bug fix in the Test Motor Routine. I expect that it's going to be mid-November before I get everything back together and try to get back up thought the tree.
Now I need some ideas. I have a "useless 432 beam on the tower, useless because the coax is not good at 432. Good at 2 meters but not 432. What do put there? Or do I just seal the PL-259 and say oh well? Or another 2 meter antenna faced 180 degrees out from where the other one is? I'm going to try and recoup my loss and sell the almost new 432 antenna either here or at Nutmeg, (along with 2 other VHF antennas I have).
