Default Update after hurricane

Ok, so it's now the day after Hurricane Sandy hit us in Philadelphia. I just placed my camera on a pole and took some video of my roof. The great news is my antenna setup is completely unscathed. It didn't move an inch! I'm amazed, frankly. I thought it would have moved around, but it didn't.

The LMR-400 feed line just runs in through the window. The longer antenna is a dual band antenna. It is connected through a duplexer to my VHF and UHF MCS-2000 model 2's. The shorter antenna is a high gain UHF antenna which is connected through an amplifier and splitter to my feed radio and scanners. The new desk now has the 2 MCS-2000's, Pro-197 and CDM feed radio mounted under the shelf, the PSR-800 currently resides on the desktop, and the HT-750, HT-1250 and Wouxun dual bander reside on top of the shelf.
I really like and admire what you've done on your roof....your antenna set up :-) ....excellent! Thinking out-of-the-box is what us apartment dwellers have to do :-) ....thank you for posting these pix :-)

Good looking shack and very inventive job on the antenna set up. In the 2nd picture of the antenna setup, if you look between your antennas, I see what appear to be two towers with beams on top. Is that correct or my eyes playing tricks on me? Thank you for posting.

Yeah, you're probably right!

I forgot about those "old" TV antennas on poles.

You've surely got better eyes than mine.
