Well, I expect that you are right, Carl. Perhaps I was in denial! I haven't
had to deal with one of these in a long time! I should have gotten out there
and dragged out the generator and fired it up and run a cable into thehouse
before the bad weather got here. Perhaps I was complacent because during
last week's snow and ice storm my power stayed on and it wasn't so bad. This
one is much worse! The last time I had to deal with one of these, I wasn't
so crippled
Wish me luck!

Hey, you had plenty of advanced warning this one was going to be brutal!
I hope you and anyone else in the path get thru it OK.
The 2008 ice storm up here still shows plenty of scars and some of my
VHF/UHF long booms still arent repaired/replaced. Is easier to play on the
ground with low receiving antennas!
