Power of wind was terrible, and typhoon 18 that went through Kyushu on September 24, 1999 hanged down the big damage to each place.
We exchanged a main tower with crank up, and even Gomagara club took typhoon measures out of past experience,But -


A horrible photo of 14MHz 6 elements Yagi antena.
It became such a figure in actual work a little less than 30 days

21MHz and the wreckage of 3.8 RDP

28MHz antenna and a tower inclined greatly, too
 

7MHz 3 elements Yagi antena became a horrible photo.

7MHz boom seems to be left.

A dead leaf and a twig stuck to wall one side by intense wind.
The clubhouse which looks seem to be the camouflage painting.
We were worried about a condition of an antenna and, just after the typhoon passage, went to the actual place, but it was stopped the traffic for a landslide Tsukumi side, Usuki side together.
An antenna of 28 MHz became half that we tried to watch it with binoculars
We waited for a logging road restoring.
If scale was unexpected, a landslide of Tsukumi side, restoration considerably took time greatly.
We did it after the typhoon passage on the 5th day and were able to be to the actual place than Usuki.
We compromised, and a lot of big trees turned and showed strength of wind.
The antenna of a clubhouse was destroyed completely.and, cabless is exterminated, too
If a skewness occurred with a crank up tower, a rotor did total loss.
Fortunately, the transceiver was safe without leak one the house inside.
