All-in-all, about 20 minutes to fix including the wait for FP to
reconfigure.
That utility can be great for some things and a royal pain for others.


I've got the same FP 't-shirt' :-)


Again, thanks for letting me know about the broken links.


You're welcome, all seems fine now.
You have a much better head for heights than I have.

Interesting site. However the links to your larger pictures are all broken.
They refer to files on your local PC eg:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator.ROGER2.000/My%20Documents/My%20Webs/ham_files/tower8.htm

sigh It wasn't as bad as I feared, but not as good as I hoped.:-))

Having a backup, I turned off the FP extensions on the server,
up-loaded the tower.htm file using ftp and then went through it image
by image.
One directory missing, 4 files missing (htms) and one bad link.
and one image. I have no idea as to where it put that image which is
supposed to be in a sub directory one level down from ham_files which
is one level down from the root.

All-in-all, about 20 minutes to fix including the wait for FP to
reconfigure.

At least the frames still work.
OTOH when I get the interactive *stuff* going I won't be able to turn
them off.

Again, thanks for letting me know about the broken links.

Rarely does the system suffer damage.

...one computer...
...one PolyPhaser...
...a repeater antenna...
...a section of 5/8ths inch Heliax...
...every bit of water proofing...
...all the silver plating...
...a two meter rig...
...a barrel connector (N type)...

Geesus H. !

I guess so long as you think that you're happy,
then you're happy. ;-)

Carry on then.

I saw the result of a lightening strike at Barkway on Royston Heath.
The lightening came down our waveguide without any damage but inside teh
equipemy huit it vapourised teh big circuit breaker on teh wall and left a
hole wher it had been and chared melted wires some distance above and below
wher the box had been mounted.

No, Engineer (Microwave) with PYE Telecommunications
We had teh first non GPO television microwave link between Birmingham and
London.
We were trying to break teh GPO monopoly on supplying and also regulating
radio communications.
It must have worked because the GPO /BT is no longer the only supplieer.

CML building Birmingham, Meriden, Cold Ashby, Barkway, Hill Crest (Highgate,
just down teh road from the BBC station at Swains Lane)
We were contracted to ATV.
Teh Link was used to show the adverts going out in Birmingham to the
sponsors in London.

Thanks for taking the **** out of my creeping disability, It keeps a sens of
proportion for me,
console yourself that it won't last much longer and I won't be able to type
at all.
