==============================================
Hi all...well the antennas are starting to give up...so far I have lost
the top 40m KLM 4 el at 155 ft that is used for the MULT station...it is
dangling from the top of the tower..

next to go will be the 3 el Telrex 40m RUN top antenna...also ready to 
fold up is the monster 8 el homebrew 8 el 20m on 89 ft boom...
not looking good either is the top 8 el 15m RUN antenna at 155  ft

...I might very well lose the rest of the antennas tonight...it is
raining  and ice pellets and the loads keep increasing on the antennas...

we had planed  to operate in the ARRL CW this coming weekend...not sure if there
will be any  antennas left...tomorrow morning will end the storm around 11
am..temps are  forecast to rise to 34 degrees F and maybe some melting
will tke place.
