- (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.
