4.5 Meter Hurricane Damage Repair San Salvador, Bahamas

This is a 4.5 meter Andrew earth station that we repaired in May, 2005 on the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas. The damage was caused by the last two hurricanes that passed over the islands. As you can see by the photos this antenna was clam shelled and had to be completely replaced and repointed. The island of San Salvador is a very pleasant place to work or vacation. A nice clean breeze blows over the island almost every day and keeps the temperature almost perfect year round. The island is not commercialized and I have never met more friendly people anywhere else in the world! The population is approximately 1200 people and everyone knows each other and each person waves as you pass by them. I love this island and hope to return there soon! The work crew we had was outstanding and made the job very easy to accomplish. Rodney Johnson, Mr. Peterson (HotDog), Tyson and Marco are all excellent workers and are an asset to The Department Of Civil Aviation Bahamas! These guys are an outstanding team and deserve a great credit for their contribution to this job. Thank you all! I will be thinking about you often and be back to see you this winter. Back to the job as you can see by the photos there was no crane available on the island so a large excavator was the machine of choice to lift the antenna onto the mount. Another perfect example of working with what you have available. Thanks to the people of San Salvador and the fantastic crew there at the San Salvador airport, this job was a success!
