[CQ-Contest] 100 km/h winds at CR3A

[Larry]

That is a significant breeze (just over 60 mph) - getting close to hurricane 
strength (70+ mph). Hopefully they can stay on the island and the antennas 
can stay up. Most current antennas are rated around 80 mph (and some heavy 
duty ones over 100 mph)  but I would guess many have never actually been 
tested at that speed.

What are those elements made of?  That can bend that far and not break.
Reminds me of a Larsen 2 meter 5/8 wave mobile ant :-)
