[SECC] ice storm update

[Tom W8JI]

I'm sorry to hear that Ben. I hope no one else lost anything major that took 
them totally off the air. I bet hundreds of people all over the state were 
worried sick.

If you want to operate and can get out of the house, you are welcome to use 
my antennas. I measured some chunks of ice here and they were 3/4 inch 
thick!!! Ouch!
