Hi Guys, "Welcome to MY world..." The freezing rain storm that we had earlier this winter completely devastated my wire antenna farm, by virtue of the heavy ice literally BREAKING supporting trees... I lost my north & east "L" elements in my topband array, my 160-meter half wave dipole, and my complete K89AY receiving antenna system. Just no spirit to get on 1.8-MHz right now---no way, no how... ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
