[EIDXA] Ice storm

[Richard Haendel]

Just got back from Oregon.  Escaped the ice storm.

Re antennas, my three wire antennas are all down. Big branches fell from two
trees taking the wires with them. My Steppir survived very nicely. I picked
up pieces of ice below the Steppir that were the shape of the elements.
There was at least 3/4" thick ice on them. No broken elements.  Just checked
SWR at several places.  All looks OK. However, the elements are no longer
completely horizontal. The boom rotated a bit in the two mast to boom clamps
so the antenna tilts to the right about 5 or 10 degrees.

How did others do?
