We have been busy repairing damage in Western Alaska from the huge superstorm that passed through the area last week. I just returned from Point Hope where 80 MPH winds ripped the waveguide off the antenna.
Here are some photos of the dish on St. Paul Island, off the SW Alaska coast where the winds destroyed the antenna. These are strong, reinforced heavy steel dish mounts and 4.5 meter antennas. The winds were up to 100 MPH there, maybe more.
