Mast Collapsed - Heavy Snow

[Tom WA3KLR]

My mast came down last night in our first snowfall of the season, north of Philadelphia and south of Allentown PA.

The mast holds one end of the 40 meter dipole, one end of the 75 meter dipole and one end of the 160 meter end-fed wire.  The mast was 3 classic Radio Shack antenna poles now 20 years old.  Not much of a loss, mostly an inconvenience.

Below are 2 photos, one showing the ice and snow clinging to the 40 meter RG-8X coax.
