It's still a tad breezy but I think I'll put this antenna back up. Nothing works without the antenna. I took it down for safekeeping to avoid damage in the winter storm from that deadly white pine out back.
@rationaldoge I live in NW Minnesota--- so my POTA antenna is going up and down at home all the time. We have more windy days than not. It's part of why I have resisted a real base station antenna.
