This is what happens when a wind storm topples a tree that clips a guy wire
of a 100' tower on the way down.

Happened at the Skyview Radio Society - K3MJW and also took out the 146.64-
K3MJW/R machine.

Last Thursday we had high winds in the area with one gust measured at  92MPH
at the county airport.  Buckled right at the second set of guys.  Damaged
the repeater antenna and feedline too.
