   Most of the weather here in Manila/Cavite gets
around 85-90* in temperature and only during the so
called summer months of April does it get even hotter.
But not very often. Our worst stuff is when the
typhoons come and they get over 90 miles an hour.
   Before I will even install a beam I will check with
a friend who does alot of 6m and uses a beam antenna.
