Looks like it was hitting Mississippi up around Columbus, and heading
North from you...

How high did your winds get ... in Union?

Bob,
The storm was not a pinpoint single line width across the map but over 3 0 0
m i l e s wide. I did not measure the "winds in Union". If they were not
high enough for you then maybe better luck next time.

It may not reached that area but it was a large storm so you could get
dmaging winds hundreds of miles from where the hurricane hit. While it
looks like the pictures don't show damage, it could be further down.

Good God Almighty.....

What will it take to satisfy you folks? How about free airfare to
Mississippi and a personal inspection of my station? For Pete's sake!!!!!

Yah know, Charlie, in retrospect, the only thing that bothers me about
your installation is the one guy point as shown in 100_5463.jpg . It
just looks a bit unsubstantial in the picture. I would grant that maybe in
person, it might seem better.... however, thanks for the offer for free
airfare, but I prefer the temps here on the Oregon coast.

While the after picture may represent the condition of your tower after the
storm, it is NOT an after picture. Why the false representation?

In all honesty to those that ridiculed the tower and it's associated
riggings etc...I have posted photos of the damage incurred from the
category
4 hurricane Dennis. I never expected this kind of result...live and learn
I
suppose. Here is the direct link..

Because the images are virtually the same..even if I stepped outside and
shot a "true after" picture it would be the same image.

Sorry to disappoint all you guys but there was no damage here.....as all but
a very few "tower experts" predicted.

Charlie, you may have noticed that the thread died once people realised you
are out of town and not endangering anyone else. 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

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.
