Monday afternoon and Jason is on the top plate of the Europe tower manhandling the boom of the 40 yagi to try to get it to rotate. He eventually discovered that the lower thrust bearing is almost totally corroded and has expanded such that the mast is jammed. He finally got it rotating, but the bearings will need to be replaced soon. The rest of us would never have the courage to do this. He's 135 feet above the ocean level in howling winds.
