That made me ill just looking at the pictures... remember one back in NY in the
70s, still have pictures. It took down Telrexes...
I guess the best way to look at it is that it could have been much worse, no
one was hurt and the towers are still vertical.
Been a rough couple of years for various sections of the US Amateur population.
Hopefully the recovery will go quickly...
Thanks for sharing Bob.
