[Lowfer] lowFER Beacon " XR " ... A trace in history

[Andy - KU4XR]

Greetings all.
 
I hope everyone is well. Due to a " freakish " thunderstorm today; I had to drop the lowFER antenna...
The storm came out of nowhere, with no notice at all. The direction of travel was 180 degress opposite
from virtually every storm system that comes thru this region. The winds were pretty severe, and did a
bit of damage that I have not experienced to date... nothing severe in nature, and fortunately, very
little " real property " damage.. The wind snapped one of the guy ropes, and with this antenna being
super top heavy, along with it leaning over the top of my mobile home; It was imperative that it come 
down, rather than risking it snapping, and falling thru the roof of my home...
 
I have had my fun with lowFER-ing, and have no plans to erect another antenna in the future.
 
Thanks to everyone in the past who gave reception reports of " XR " ... They truly were appreciated.
 
73 to all; and best wishes for the future.
