I was able to squeeze in a couple of hours dismantling the twisted and bent antennas from the fallen tower. I was able to untangle the 75 meter wire and spice the broken pieces back together. This was a temporary fix as the broken pieces still need to be soldered. This temporary fix now allows me after eight weeks to check into the Indiana Traffic Net (ITN) again. All of my friends welcomed me back. I still have much work and many hours, work, and money to get back to what I had. I think I will be unable to achieve this. I will just do what I can and make do in the future.
