W5SDC Legacy Antennas
(pre digital era on 50ft push-up pole)

FM, HF, SSB antennas, and Davis weather station in 2004

Wrecked by a winter storm blast on Feb 1, 2011. The top North guy wire snapped during a strong northerly wind gust.


My legacy HF control point in those days. The Alinco DR-235 220 monobander (lower right corner)
is the only radio still in service today on it's monoband 1/4 λ Ugly Duck dipole.
HF operation is sorely missed, but the HOA did not approve of putting the large HF antennas back up after the wreck.
