I got a call on the local repeater today from k7orl asking if he and kj7ork could come over to work on my antenna. It went from good Saturday night to way out of whack Sunday morning. The swr was between 4:1 and 10:1 on all bands. Kj7ork did most of the work. (I've gone from somewhat capable to nearly useless in the past year.). Anyway, the 90° connector had managed to loosen at the feed point. Problem solved, it's below 2:1 on all bands again!
While taking it down is a 2 man job even when I was better, I don't like to impose on others for help. I guess I'll have to get used to that. It's nice to have friends. I've found the hams in our area to be very willing to help out, pretty much a fraternal bunch. I suspect that is the case in other areas as well.
