Center conductor to antenna broke #51

The conductor was detected as broken at about 4:05 PM PST (00:05 PM GMT). image

The input power line also broke. The line for some reason is sticking back to where it used to be soldered. (Wonderfully lucky cold solder joint I'm guessing.)

For the moment, the center conductor is literally taped with Totoro washi tape to the coax passthrough shown above.

The wire was soldered back to the connector. There was an interim fix with washi tape and a piece of bell wire.
