[OKDXA] ICE damage at W7FG

[Gary - W7FG]

Nothing worse here than what has been reported by several others.

Power outage lasted 122.5 hours.

All wire in the air is now tangled in the remains of 30+ Mature 
downed trees.  72'  Motorized Crankup tower with 20' mast sticking 
out the top, with X-9, 6 El 6 meter beam on 24' boom, 2 meter beam on 
19' boom survived.  I'd planned on lowering the tower before the ICE 
Storm was scheduled to hit here, noon on Sunday.  I'm amazed the 
tower survived, it was coated with 3/4" of ICE as were the 
antennas.  NO Wind - The only reason.

AC Line Noise on 40-80-160 is S9 +20db now,  I'm not complaining!!  A 
1st!!  HI HI..
