The storms that hit Corsica in november/december 2019 didn't leave any survival chance to our setup !
Many trees are broken and fell on the road, even very large and old ones.
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 ...

During the heavy earthworks around our radio site, our underground electrical cable has been damaged and the 4 wires have now an insulation problem.
Consequently, all our equipements are our of order since mid-february :
- our VHF repeater
- our meteorological station
- our 5 GHz Internet link
For the same reason, the club station was unable to participate to the 2018 REF phone contest.
We are in touch with the company who made the works for Météo France who is building a new weather radar. We hope to be back as soon as possible.
