Haskell Peak (W6/NS-162) SOTA Activation 10/19/2012

The bottom of my Jackite pole was crammed down into a gap between two large rocks, and I used several more smaller rocks to give it additional stability in the gusty winds. While operating, one of the sections loosened (apparently from the constant buffeting) and I heard a ka-sloop as it fell down into the section below it. Nothing appeared to be damaged and the antenna was still up, so I kept rolling along.
