Good on you for putting up a tower out there, what the hell, eh? But the distortions aren't exactly helpful. More to the point, how's the DX'ing? I used to have to go to a nearby mountainside road to get any height like you have now. Cheers. Ken |

President Bush has authorized "Disaster Relief Funds" for 38 counties in
Mississippi including my county of Newton. 1. http://www.wtok.com/home/headlines/1678647.html You cartographer skills as well as your meteorological powers of analysis leave a lot to be desired. Have a nice day.....sorry my tower did not collapse and that no one in my family was killed. Maybe next time..eh? -- Charlie Ham Radio - AD5TH www.ad5th.com Deep South 2 Meter SSB Net www.deepsouthnet.net "Bob Miller" wrote in message ...

If they were not high enough for you then maybe better luck next time. According to the storm category indications on the map at http://www.wunderground.com/tropical.../at200504.html "Hurricane Dennis" was actually a "tropical depression" before it ever crossed into Mississippi, some distance north of Union. Charlie, I would never wish high winds upon anyone, but before you brag about riding out a Category 4 Hurricane, you should be a little more accurate in your terminology :-) Have a good one... bob k5qwg |

There are no distortions Ken. The tower looks the same the day before Dennis
as it does now the day after. The WHOLE POINT in using 2 identical photos was to illustrate that there IS NO DIFFERENCE after the storm. I have been on Usenet for 20 years or more and it is always the same....people just wait in the wings to take pot shots at others. I posted a link to the tower photos and all I got was ridicule and cuss words. Now that it survived the affects of hurricane Dennis I get accusations that Dennis never even came near my home. You guys can all go fish..or any other "F" word you might be able to think of. Sorry to rob you all of the splendor of viewing my new tower down on the ground. You ****ers are all a bunch of real sick *******s. -- Charlie Ham Radio - AD5TH www.ad5th.com Deep South 2 Meter SSB Net www.deepsouthnet.net "Ken Taylor" wrote in message ...

Hey, Charlie, glad to hear your tower suffered no ill effects. You'll
be overjoyed to know that mine didn't either. Sorry, no pix available. Cheers, Tom |

The WHOLE POINT in using 2 identical photos was to illustrate that there IS NO DIFFERENCE after the storm. Charlie, the assessment that the "tower looks the same the day before Dennis as it does now the day after" is your own assessment, then to convince others, you misrepresent a "before" photograph as an "after" photograph as evidence to support your assessment. The photograph is not honest, it portrays what is in your mind rather than what is on the ground, and IMHO is only evidence of what is in your mind. Might have been a nice point if you did take an after photograph. As to the extent that you experienced Hurricane Dennis, I will leave that to you guys to work out. Owen -- |

Just posting a real 'after' shot would have shut people up (well, most, as
you say). Anyway, still glad it didn't come down. My only beef was ever the neighbours - since they aren't in sight (and I notice you don't seem to have your house near it either) I say go for it.

I never expected this kind of result...live and learn I suppose. Here is the direct link.. 1. http://deepsouthnet.net/storm_damage.html Just because the antenna wasn't damaged in this storm doesn't mean it its installation is safe. So it withstood a storm whose biggest claim to fame around her is flood damage. Will the antenna stand the test of time? Good luck Plonk! -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |
