On March 30, 2021, TK1BI & TK5EP spent a few hours on our "Punta" site. A new Procom CXL2 antenna with a gain of 3 dB was installed on the new tower. This one is bigger and more stable than it was used to install this heavier antenna. The old antenna gave some signs of weakness and showed reduced coverage.

The pylon was also earthed and a new connection to the TKNET network has been done. It remains to connect the grouns of the building in order to have equipotentiality of the different earths and to finish laying the cable trays.

All antennas suffered. The yagi boom bent, 2 elements are broken and flew about 50 meters away, the 40/80m dipole was ripped off.
Half of the weather station is broken and was found in the bush. The anemometer exploded and the weather vane is broken...

In short, there is work in prospect ...
