Antenna repair moving forward

September 4, 2007 by kb8sfc.

Repair of the 2 meter Yagi is coming along quite nicely in part to the help of Mark N8UVQ with his trusty dremel and unique vice. Unfortunately when I was cutting the rusted u bolts off the driven element fell off also. The machine screw was just about rusted all the way through. Oh well better that happen now than when its up in the air.

Also I found my rotor wire at the local True Value hardware for about $10 less than Radio Shack. While I was there I purchased some new u bolts and other hardware.
It’s not a bad little hardware store , although sometimes they are a bit too helpful, when I’m just trying to browse. I guess it’s just something I’m just not used to these days, compared to Lowe’s and Home Depot .
