Really sorry to see these pictures. And here we are out here in sunny
weather thinking about the effort of having one or two beams up in the
air. Now realize, after seeing pictures for the first time, the grit
and perseverance of people out there keeping their big antenna farms
going year after year.
I hope Matt and Dave and all the rest of the folk affected by the ice
will be able to bounce back soon.
