Ken,
I can nearly always hear you check in, even when I can't hear Kevin.
But tonight we had guests and I couldn't make it. But you are always
audible in north Texas.
73, Dave W8OV

Hi Kevin and the group
I tried to call the ECN tonight. At 23:00 on 14.050 and again on at 02:00 on
7.045. I did not hear any answers although I do have a high noise background
living in the City. My P3 said -110 on 20 and -105 on 40. I was running 500
watts from my K line to my Hy-Tower Vertical on both bands.
On 40 I did have a QSO with N6BS after I gave up on the net.
I hope you get your storm damaged antenna back up again for next week.
73 and good luck getting your antenna fixed.

Good Evening,
A winter storm came on shore sometime last Sunday. By Monday night there was
another 20" on snow on the ground. It was also bending many of my trees almost
to the ground. That night a number of trees exploded under the weight; twenty foot
sections of their trunks turning into shrapnel. Branches breaking under the load of
snow and ice also kept me awake. The next morning I found both of my doublets
broken. The 14 ga THHN had parted in the middle where a branch had gone through it.
Currently each of the three guy lines is under an inch or two of ice. Hopefully
the coming thaw will let me repair them. One interesting note: the broken trees
failed from their compressed side toward the side under tension.
Now for the net options: you can appoint a temporary NCS and carry on or we
can postpone the nets until I can repair the antennas. This should be by next
Sunday. Since each doublet failed in the middle of a leg the repair will be
easy once I can free the guy lines.
73 & Stay Warm,
Kevin. KD5ONS
