<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So what kind of damage did everyone see from this
latest storm?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I lost my 10 meter beam, FM broadcast yagi, 6
meter vertical and I took down the radio shack scanner antenna because it was
endangering the 2/440 Vertical. I can replace it later.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Luckily when 4' tripod blew over it
landed against the pine tree branches, which acted as a cushion. The only
antenna that is probably destroyed is the FM Yagi. Everything else I managed
to salvage and should be able to re-mount at some point.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I almost blew off the roof when I went up to
untangle everything! I probably should have waited till after the storm but I
wanted to minimize the damage and get everything takien apart before it fell
down completely. Bob you will be amused to know that the ladder blew down
while I was on the roof, so I had to wait for my dad to come home. Luckily he
only went out to get the paper.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What a pain in the ass!</FONT></DIV>
