With the seasons soon to start changing it's a good time to take a close look at your antenna/tower farm.  Don't wait for storms to show you the weak spots...Topping our list of maintenance issues is rust, both on the tower/mast but also hardware on the antennas themselves.  A little cold-galvanizing spray and a brush can go a long way toward making your hardware last.  Easy to apply on warm days but not so much during cold weather.  Tension and retighten guy wires as needed and replace any frayed wiring.  Watch for cables flapping in the breeze.  Check connectors for cracked or rotting shrink boot/tubing and just give everything outdoors a good inspection.  Keep hardware tight.   Water intrusion is always a constant pest and can cause issues.  Be sure and check the weep holes your tower legs to be sure they are clean and open.  You really don't want water building up in the legs.   One spot that always seems to be a problem is where open-wire or ladder line attaches to your dipole.  If not supported properly it will surely cause problems due to flexing.  And it will do so when you need your radios badly. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Please note that we have been notified by a couple of people that a shopping website out there is selling our (and other) antennas at giveaway prices.  These are NOT our antennas and these people, whoever they are, are not associated with us in any way.  The city they list for their business does not exist.  They also show themselves as being in one state but their zip code is in another!  We are not sure what they are selling (if anything) but it is not our antennas.  The only legit sources for our products are this website, Ebay and Amateur Radio Supplies in New Hampshire.  Be wary!  They may be advertising products they do not have in an effort to collect credit card numbers...
