[OKDXA] Ice and antennas

[Kim Elmore]

Out shopping, but stuff looked scary droopy. 2 el on 40 m and a KT-34A can gather a lot of ice. Unless it backs off soon, I may lose them. They were still up when I left an hour ago, but the icicle loading is collecting very fast...

>> Hope everyone's antennas are making it through the ice storm ok.  Here in Lawton we have between 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice on stuff.  The MFJ 6 meter elements are sagging pretty good, but they are very flexible and will snap right back after the melting.  The 2m beam looks ok so far.  The streets are ok but a few tree branches are down as well.
