score, as well as every individual stat over the past few years, which=20

should have translated to a score of upward of 700K. But had to spend

a good part of Saturday doing some repairs from Tropical storm Lili.

None of my antennas were affected, but my cable antenna had come down,

(makes you wonder - but they used some sort of wire guys which broke,

Thanks to: KI1G, AA5AU, K1TTT, HC8N, P43P & HP1XVH for QSYing so I could
