Hex-beam repair after Storm Ashley damage

26 October 2024

Well, Storm Ashley swept through at the end of October 2024 and damaged two spreaders on the Limerick Clare Amateur Radio Club Hex-beam antenna. We didn't have replacement spreaders to there was nothing for it but a jury-rig repair using bamboo cane, cableties and insulating tape. It turned out OK in the end.
