   The Nightmare Storm makes Landfall on Friday- August 13, 2004!

  Track Hurricanes

For whatever write-up you do, the dishes were destroyed or damaged by Hurricane Charlie on Aug 13, 2004.  The"C-Brand" mount bent as it left the concrete, the U bolts pulled out of the fiberglass, and the dish nosed down and feed horn blew away and lower dish cracked.  The "A-Brand" lost its feed horn but the basic dish survived.  The metal (black) dish of unknown manufacture was badly blown and distorted, no longer usable.  The "P-Brand" dish you can see one little piece of metal left, the dish is in the next county somewhere.  The DH blew off aim, but suffered no other damage.  Winds estimated 130-135 MPH with higher gusts.

                                                 We all have a choice to make.  Purchasing your antenna is an important decision that should be based not on what might be "free" or most "available" or easiest to get on "location".  It should be based on "QUALITY",  "NEED", AND "RELIABILITY".  DH has proven that we can with stand the test that was put before us.  The DH "ANTENNA" not only on paper can survive the winds we claim, but we've proven it.  DH 3M TO 5M DUAL POWERED GIBRALTER APPROVED IN FLORIDA!  CALL FOR DETAILS OF TEST!

        Our sympathies go out to all those that may have lost family and friends not only in Hurricane Charley, but through out the 2004 & 2005 Hurricane seasons.
