RE: [arrl-odv:17391] W1 superstation ice woes

Eeeuw! Bummer! Those are some sad antenna pictures. What winter adventures we've had. Ice storm in Rocky Hill, blizzard in Windsor, snow in Albuquerque, dense fog in Savannah. The first time we met at Rocky Hill when the hotel was brand new, the HVAC system wasn't up to snuff and our Board meeting room was icy along the side opposite where I sat as a Vice Director. People were stuffing towels along the bottom of the emergency exit door to keep the cold air out, and poor Evelyn Gauzens from Florida was wearing all the gents' suit jackets she could pile on because she sat on the arctic side of the room. Fortunately she was a good sport and had a sense of humor about it, which is not easy when you're turning blue. 73 - Kay N3KN
