[Robert Redmon]

No ice accumulation of note here in Wichita Falls. Jim in Sulphur

>>> 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.
