[OKDXA] Ice Storm

[Coy Day]

Doing better than usual here with at least an inch of ice on all metal
surfaces.  The element ends on the T-10 are pointing straight down at the
ground with the weight of the ice.  Same with the rotatable 30 dipole. 
Two of my three 160m half wave slopers are on the ground.  Only the SW
sloper still up but coated with this inch of ice, so I'm sure it won't
load.  Guess that takes care of the 160m contest this weekend.  Rats! :^(
Ground has an inch of ice with about 4 inches of sleet on top of that and
now another 4-5 inches of snow.
