[ADXA] Ice Storm Warning

[Steven Rutledge]

Joel, thanks for the warning.  :)))  Looks like Memphis right in the 
center of the bad stuff too.  Nothing going on here yet.  I'm glad I 
have whole-house generator.  MLGW goes down when I sneeze. This could be 
bad.  My antennas have survived ice in the past although the F12 was 
looking straight down instead of at the horizon.  It came out of it OK.  
My V/U stuff has pretty  stout booms.  Who knows, we might all wind up 
with new antennas!  (((((:

Good luck guys.

Steve, QQ
