FW: [WIARC] ice and antennas

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 15:39:04 -0600

We have Ice-ed up antennas with high VSWR all over the state and several
sites on back-up power. So far though it is all still running fine, knock on
wood.

How are everyone's antennas holding up?  I am to the point I cannot hear the
.03 repeater here due to antenna icing.  Even my lonely 80 meter dipole has
had a limb break that was holding it up and one end is only 20' off the
gropund now.  Several power outages and limbs down here in Camp Point.
Quite a fireworks display earlier when ice loaded branches drooped down onto
high voltage wires.
