[OKDXA] Ice

[Kim Elmore]

Hi Coy,

Bummer; sorry to hear of the loss (again).  In far SE OKC, I got only about 
1/4" of ice, but nearly an inch of liquid precipitation.  No snow, no 
tree-limbs down, and we kept power throughout the event.  Everything stayed 
up, though even 1/4" makes the 40 m beam look a bit droopy.

Snow is fine, but I'll pass on the ice.  I'll bet lots of antennas were 
trashed in SC.

73,

Kim Elmore, N5OP
