A Gap Voyager bit the dust at the QTH of our SDXA Secretery Jay WA0WWW. He had 2 up & phased for 80m, 40m and 160m. One survived. it was about a 60mph that took it; it was down wind from the house and Jay says that the winds were accelerated and circling once over the house that twisted it and brought it down.
