I got so busy doing repair work on this pole I forgot to get a good shot of it all broken down. Widdo Bwudder posted this shot [id=275008821] showing the wire wrap I used to pull the split pole back together enough to use again. Bringing a new pole into this location would be a real pain. Getting a ladder in and out was an exercise in tumbling rock and a lot of knee time. Here it is back together with a new Burkeville 102 and a Hemberton-16 we had to re-use because the pin would not come out of a native 133 I wanted to put back into service. I plan to go back with an appropriate length bolt to run through the gain to further tighten up the split pole. |
