Decided to let the tophat down early this time around...instead of at 5 am like last Monday morning.
Got a couple nice lumps on the head from that. We're supposed to get above freezing for a while
tomorrow so XGR/2 should be back in business tomorrow night.

Thanks for taking the time to set up two grabbers. I'm sure we'll be making use of them shortly if
you can leave them up..

BTW, saw the pix of ice damage at your location. How much did you get? The most I've ever seen here
was back in the late 70's when an 80 meter dipole @ 90' came down with 3" diameter ice on it. Same
storm made short work of a 3 element 20-10 meter quad...
