Sadly it took down part of the Coshcraft A3. The first antenna damage since „Wibke“ took down part of the antenna in 1990 (See Antenna chapter). Looking at the part that came down I guess its better to refurbish the complete antenna or think about a different solution (Antenna) for the mast.

Pretty rusty
The whole part that came down.
