I spent 7 hours out in the antenna field yesterday fixing the 20m yagi and the 40m rotator and lots of other stuff. I bought a new (Lazy Tongue) riveter so I was able to replace the small (2ft long) broken piece of the 32ft boom on the 20m yagi. The rivets were too big for my pathetic toy one to handle. The tubing for replacing the broken elements arrived this morning, so that's the next step.
I replaced the broken Kenpro 600 with a HAM 4 on the 40m tower. I used some crimped connectors for the connections, but one of them was loose. I didn't discover this until the rotator was bolted to the tower. So that's now fixed and working.
So even more progress.
