Comments:
Our usual M/2 operation was cancelled by Mother Nature's ice storm across
Oklahoma at the last minute. Luckily, there is no serious damage to the
aerials (yet), but our roads are simply treacherous. I decided to get on and
make as many q's as possible. The antennas have about 3/8" of ice on them and
SWR averaged 3:1. The NW beverage had fallen to the ground and was under 2" of
sleet. The rotor was stuck East. I had to stop 10 or more times for 5-10
minutes each while a wave of freezing rain/sleet passed over. It would put the
S meter on +30 and keep it there. Apologies to those I could not copy or had to
give up on. We are lucky though, as there does not appear to be much serious
damage, and we only lost power briefly for 4 periods. We'll be back.
73, Ken K5KA
