At 0830 CDT this morning, WC2XSR/13 went off the air for repairs and
modifications to the roof tower.

I am removing a 6-meter beam and adding another 10 feet to the height of
the tower.  All the guy wires and roof anchor points are being replaced.
Weather permitting, I will have the job finished tomorrow.  I was hoping
to complete it today, but even though I worked through three rain
showers, the afternoon thunderstorms command my instant respect, and I
retired from the roof, posthaste!

I had managed to replace the roof anchors and the lower two sets of guy
lines earlier during the past two weeks without shutting WC2XSR/13 down,
but the remainder of the construction work requires that I drop the far
end of the top loading wire.  I'll be back on the air as soon as
possible.

73,
