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.


According to my map you weren't hit by hurricane Dennis..... maybe a
bit of tropical storm.... maybe.

According to the weather map he was about 100 miles from the "eye" of
a tropical depression, which is one notch below a tropical storm.

Charlie, there is only one photo on that web page, shown twice. Do you
have a photo of any damage you took after the storm? I could not find
one in http://deepsouthnet.net/images/.

Looks like it came through unscathed! :-)

Hi Larry,
I intentionally posted the very same identical mage twice since there was
no damage and no change in the image even had I taken one after the storm
cleared. There was no damage here at all to the station in any way.

I NEVER realized my photographic prowess would cause such a stir which
included accusations of "misrepresentation" "spoofing" "nice try" and
comments about my "**** tower" "crappy installation" etc. I was even
ridiculed for not "being in the eye of the hurricane". Gee maybe next time I
can request a 200 mph cat 5 hurricane to plow through my backyard.

Be that as it may since human nature and the heart of man are such I simply
wanted to show that there was absolutely no damage.


So to "prove" there was no damage here is a link to a snap I just took of
the tower. Geesh Louise......

I think the problem was that the thread was titled, AD5TH Tower -
Storm Damage Photos. So naturally we all assumed that there was storm
damage and you were going to show us the damage in the picture.
Apparently, you were trying to show something entirely different.
That the storm DIDN'T damage the tower. Perhaps you should have
titled it, "AD5TH Tower Escapes Storm Damage Photos." It would have
been easier to understand what you were trying to convey, and none of
these negative comments would have been triggered. Glad everything is
OK.

Good to hear, Charlie, and thanks for the clarification.

I remind myself that we are amateurs, after all. As such, we might do
things differently from professionals or self-proclaimed professionals.

I also remind myself that this is Usenet, and it attracts all sorts of
opinions and posting styles. Not all of them are worth reading or replying.

Glad your antenna system came through unscathed during your spell of
increased wind. My neighbor came home from the bar, drunk, sucessfully
too. Glad you both are unscathed!

TY Ed....President Bush has authorized emergency disaster funds for our
county due to "increased winds!"

Yeah, I heard. Winds gusting to 59 mph. Just a few months ago we had
winds gusting to 70 here on the Pacific North West coast. Wonder why no
one got disaster funds?
