Wind destroyed my Folding antenna as well.

The windy week.

On Sunday we went for a drive to Diamond head.  Unfortunately I've left my camera back home (the van), otherwise I'll show you nice place in photographs.

When we returned the Folding hex antenna was on the ground and one spreader broken.  The wind was simply too strong

So that was the end of my efforts to work some DX.

The whole weekend and the rest of the week was a disaster as far as amateur radio goes.

The sunrise with all the smoke in the air from the bushfires.
