Rick, I'm stunned. I know these things can happen; but, I can't imagine
being there to witness this. Since I spent time with both the 40m stack and
the 4el 40m antenna, I feel some sense of ownership and know about all the
work required to put those antennas in the air. I pray nothing else comes
done.

Hi all...well the antennas are starting to give up...so far I have lost
the top 40m KLM 4 el at 155 ft that is used for the MULT station...it is
dangling from the top of the tower..next to go will be the 3 el Telrex 40m RUN
top antenna...also ready to fold up is the monster 8 el homebrew 8 el 20m on
89 ft boom...not looking good either is the top 8 el 15m RUN antenna at
155 ft...I might very well lose the rest of the antennas tonight...it is
raining and ice pellets and the loads keep increasing on the antennas...we had
planed to operate in the ARRL CW this coming weekend...not sure if there
will be any antennas left...tomorrow morning will end the storm around 11
am..temps are forecast to rise to 34 degrees F and maybe some melting will tke
place.
