[Lowfer] "WE" down for a few days...

Mon, 12 Aug 2002 19:07:09 -0500

Well the loop survived real well. The North standoff insulator and spring
bit it but was repairable. The insulator by the kennel is toast. I don't
know what the south standoff insulator and spring look like yet; I've been
sawing up trees and don't have the ambition to do anymore work. I'll be on
the air tomorrow evening after some repairs and retuning. The wire is a bit
longer as we had 100+mph winds with a small tornado. The good news is that I
can now have satellite TV as I can see the southern sky real well without
the trees!!!

DAYS? That's too long! :) Anxious to find out what happened. Only time I've
been knocked off is when this 50ft tree went down and broke the conductor.

Good luck!

Bill

PS: The current transformer is on the way!
