Like many, Saturday's winter storm iced up most of my antennas.  Thanks to Mel & Carol for doing their "local" Rochester rove, it was a good idea to stay close to home!   Best Q's were to W0GHZ on 5.7 and 10 GHz shooting out my garage door on about a 17 mile path "over the mountains and through the wood".   The uW equipment had been cold soaked in the garage at about 10 degrees so I was unsure if it would even work .... it took about 5 minutes for the 10G transverter to warm up enough to start to work.  Had a little 6m E's late on Sunday afternoon that helped the grid count, otherwise it was fairly dismal.  No 432 here yet as the antenna has a problem (and of course its the top one).
