(KA6NOC writes that he asked to join the AMSAT mailing list 3
weeks ago and has had no response)
I'm one week and holding now myself. According to the AMSAT
journal, the list is administered by a human, not a machine, and
response can be slow at times. But 3 weeks??
Anyhow, I'm glad it's not just me. I was afraid I'd bungled the
request.

I am sick and tired of climbing my satellite mast to fix my
satellite antennas that have slipped on my fiberglass boom.
I have the KLM long crossed yagis (very long booms).
I have tightened the hell out of the bolts and am always
concerned about cracking the #*$%^^@ fiberglass.
I am somewhat new to satellite stuff ... have I missed
some obvious trick (or is everyone swinging around up there
swearing at their antennas?)
Thanks Ian KB1SG

Gee, I guess no one in all of amateur radio owns a drill but me. :-)
Drill the mast and *pin* the antennas in place with a sheetmetal screw.
Works for me.
