Vertical dipole just broke, because of winds. No precise details yet.
More news later... 73
----------------------
So, looks like both his antennas are broken. I believe the 20/30 antenna
is a G5RV. The vertical was what he was using on 17 meters. No operation
until repairs are made... Guess no 20 Meter long path this morning...
