Recent windstorms in the Phoenix East Valley damaged the 40-meter beam atop the 100-foot tower at W8QBG.  Repairs involved hiring a crane to reach the antenna, ordering replacement parts from Hy-Gain and mustering a crew for the appointed day.  These photos document the repair operations on that day, Saturday, July 1, 2009.  (Click on image for original, larger (~1 Meg) version).
