Due to the Winter storm that came thru Fri, my antennas are down.
First, wet snow, followed by sleet. Not a typical Tennessee snowfall.
I have trees in the yard, on top of my garage, and trees in the
driveway that are just waiting to fall across the powerlines.
What parts of the HF antenna still up, are drooping severely. Most
likely will have more breakage as the thaw starts from trees snapping
upwards, or more falling due to the weight. In the interim, I'm
upgrading the PC's in the house to XP-PRO, not a trivial task, and
very time consuming. I saved everything on my radio computer except
my Favorites in the web browser. Dang !! I lost 3 years of websites.
Not that big of a deal, but aggravating. Slowly, I'll start getting
them back, and will probably ask for links from you guys.
