>I notice that TAG and the "W" part of Bill's "Wm" are off the air this 
>morning. Yesterday's thunderstorms may have had some effect.  JA

John, we escaped the thunderstorms in Ellsworth on Friday. I think the lack 
of the W is that I forgot to turn the loop back on after running a test on 
the vertical. The vertical had lost a top hat support rope from a tree 
falling on it during the big Nor- easter storm and I have just repaired it. 
It's still a bit out of tune as the adjustment coil has a jammed slug and is 
putting out only about 1/2W right now. Will be returning on Wednesday.

Your TAG being down is a rarity. You must have set some kind of record for 
uninterrupted service! Will be interesting to see what the cause was.
