Topband: Power stayed on!

[Charlie Cunningham]

Thanks, Carl!  Guess it's your turn, now! Guess I'm not the only "hillbilly"
on here!  Tom said his yagis look like "noodles" and most all the support
ropes for his wire antennas had broken under the ice load, and he said he
had lots of radial icing.
So I guess I can't complain too much!

Take care and stay warm!

73,
Charlie, K4OTV

Thats good news Charlie.

After about 4 hrs of fluff it started coming down pretty heavy maybe 20
minutes ago, no winds yet.

This photo could be my road about half way down the hill, houses on the low
side and little on the high and lots of turns and trees. Only difference is
we have no street lights.
