The best laid plans of ....shortly after I set up for the all-night run, we
had a huge Pacific windstorm go through here. Winds up to 80MPH - very ugly.
Lost the power at midnight and just got it back now (19 hours later);
although the RX went off, ARGO cheerfully gave me screen captures all night
long! Interestingly, the 10' loop stood it's ground and is actually still
pointing towards the S-E USA! Will try again tonight, with another storm on
the way.
