Rick, I'm stunned. I know these things can happen; but, I can't
imagine being there to witness this. Since I spent time with both the 40m
stack and the 4el 40m antenna, I feel some sense of ownership and know about all
the work required to put those antennas in the air. I pray nothing else
comes done.

Hi all...well the antennas are starting to give up...so far I have lost
the top 40m KLM 4 el at 155 ft that is used for the MULT station...it is
dangling from the top of the tower..next to go will be the 3 el Telrex 40m RUN
top antenna...also ready to fold up is the monster 8 el homebrew 8 el 20m on
89 ft boom...not looking good either is the top 8 el 15m RUN antenna at 155
ft...I might very well lose the rest of the antennas tonight...it is raining
and ice pellets and the loads keep increasing on the antennas...we had planed
to operate in the ARRL CW this coming weekend...not sure if there will be any
antennas left...tomorrow morning will end the storm around 11 am..temps are
forecast to rise to 34 degrees F and maybe some melting will tke place.
