Anyone lose antennas or have serious damage?

Power hiccuped a couple of times, longest outage 5 minutes. The wire antenna did a lot of dancing, it is still where I put it along with the towers. Lost one tree next to the house, was nice enough to drop between the fence and the house, will cut it up when the weather is nicer.

Momentary power loss, many times, lost count. Lots of small branches, no damage here. Only had to set clock on microwave. After 3pm plenty of wind, but no more power flickers. 

Did see a picture from a friend that works for Verizon about three to four poles came down on Mt Harmony Road (on to road) no cars involved. Road closed until the poles were replaced! Don't know how they did that in such wind. Went by there this morning all work complete and new poles installed. Amazing!

No traffic on repeater at all yesterday! Did hear some packet traffic!

Did not see much damage in North County this morning, a few trees that had been cut up to clear way. No major, noticeable house damage was seen....by me. 

Wind was pretty intense, but we were lucky, consistent one direction flow North - North West average 12-14 mph, gusts to 41 from my observations. Highest gust recorded at house was 47 mph. 

No microburst or cross wind flow.

Did County activate?

Power outage for about 20 hours.  Lowered my antenna prior to the wind.  Spent the night in our camper warm and cozy. No damage.

All antennas OK. Main issue was power loss. Was out for about 34 hours. Came back on about 1500 yesterday.

Hi to all, My GAP vertical now has a permanent bend. It runs the full length 
of the antenna. I did not loose any power.

My antennae all made it through, however, I lost power for about 15 hours at various times.  I ran my generator for about 12 hours to keep the furnace going and water.  Many trees were down over cars and houses.  My street had a tree over it.  Otherwise all is well.
I apologize my last minute but necessary absence from the last Thursday meeting and for the audit.

Hi Jim, Yes the new gap looks like the old one. I hope to get on the air 
today and try to make some qso's.

Don, does your new Gap resemble your old Gap antenna that this one replaced?

My antennae all made it through, however, I lost power for about 15 hours at 
various times.  I ran my generator for about 12 hours to keep the furnace 
going and water.  Many trees were down over cars and houses.  My street had 
a tree over it.  Otherwise all is well.
I apologize my last minute but necessary absence from the last Thursday 
meeting and for the audit.

All,


NWS is predicting a mix of rain, snow and sleet Tuesday evening.  No reason to be out on the roads in those conditions.


Instead of our monthly meeting in Prince Frederick, we'll have a voice net on the 146.985 repeater.

Good morning on this bright Spring Day!
 
The MDC Section SEC will be monitoring K3ERA, 145.23 (-) 110.9 and the CMRG 440 linking system for a Section wx net throughout the day.
 
Right now very heavy wet snow in the Brandywine, in SoMD. 
 
The CMRG system stretches from WASH Cnty to CALV with some accessing from the Eastern shore.
 
CMRG Frequencies follows:

Subject: [CALV-AUXCOMM] April AUXCOMM Meeting
Message-ID: <247985640.817951.1522013142100@connect.xfinity.com>

All,


I will not be available in April for our normal third Tuesday meeting.    Instead, I'm proposing we meet on Wednesday, April 25th,  7pm at Three Brother's in Prince Frederick.


It's difficult to find a date that accommodates everyone but hopefully the 25th will be OK.


As you may have heard, the County has fallen significantly behind schedule with their new public service radio improvement project, which means their plans to purchase and install equipment for AUXCOMM has also fallen behind as well.  The delay looks to be at least a year and possibly longer.


So... the agenda for April 25th is how we might go about putting together a viable emergency communications system in Calvert WITHOUT the use of any county or state government facilities (towers. antennas. buildings, etc).  This includes not counting on the 146.985 repeater as well.   Sounds pretty extreme, but I thought a good brain storming session based on these assumptions may lead to some good ideas.   Ideas include a separate repeater(s) on private property, perhaps 10M simplex, NVIS schemes using compact antennas, our own MESH network, etc.  Any ideas short of using smoke signals or megaphones are welcome.


tnx

Shawn
