We were able to start repairs of the satellite antenna last Saturday (23 Jan). The repairs were needed due it being completely wrapped up on itself from being rotated too far. We found that the coax lines for the 70cm and 2m antennas were damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced. We also found that the control lines for rotation motor were in question so we removed everything and brought it down to the shack for further repairs. Pictures follow:
