>     Rig: IC-7700/Acom 2000A
>     Antennas: damaged 160m Inverted L, 80m dipole @ 80ft with tuner, 40m delta loop
>     (used on 20/15 as well). All wires.

>     A wind storm caused extensive damage to the new garage where the shack is. It
>     was not obvious, but the 160L was damaged (intermittent spiking SWR, have to
>     troubleshoot). An 80ft oak is now partially inside the back wall of the garage,
>     having pierced it. Four other significantly large trees will have to be taken
>     down since they now hang at a 20deg angle from the ground next to the large oak and quite dangerous.
> 
>     The new SPE 1.5K amp died on Sat afternoon. Back for warranty repair Mon.
>     Luckily, had the Acom 2000A ready to operate.
>     The SPE amp has an internal high power ATU. Using the Acom on 80 and 160, I set
>     up the HF-Auto, and it worked pretty well on 80m, could not get 160 below 2:1
>     buit not the tuner's fault.
> 
>     Condx horrible here on 40m Fri night. Barely heard EU. Started working EU Sat
>     afternoon around 3P local. Have to get up some yagis, wires are OK up to a
>     point, but these condx are really tough.
