Quoting Andy - KU4XR <ku4xr at yahoo.com>:
> 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.
