An anonymous contributor sent us these photos, taken from a repeater site in Western Idaho. This is a classic example of how some hams just don’t know how to work with radio equipment. This co-located site donated some of it’s space to the local ham club to put up a 70cm repeater…. this repeater operated fine until a windstorm hit. The only casualties was the club’s UHF folded dipoles (the remaining one seen dangling on top of the VHF dipole) and what’s left of the solar panel array. Unfortunatley, a combination of ice loading and poor mounting quickly took the ham repeater (and probably some of the other customers on the site) off of the air. Click on the photos to see them in their frosty fullness.
