Subject: Super quick service

I have to comment on a super quick service I got from the Force12 company,
last Friday.
The 20m reflector on our beam (TF3IRA) got loose on the boom, and from the
manual we couldn't see how it was fastened. As we planned to get help from
the Fire Dept. at Friday afternoon and we Icelanders are always at the last
minute, I sent an e-mail to the company at 1300 UTC =local on Friday and at
1410 I got the reply with a picture and it helped a lot.
What actually happened is that the rivets had turned loose and we replaced
them with bolts as we had to do previously with the elements, but used
hoseclamps there. With our strong winds here the rivets are far to be good
and next summer we have to take the beam down and change all rivets with
bolts.
CU in the ARRL DX contest the coming weekend.
