Re: [IRCA] Tree Down

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, I joined the Patrick Martin "something down" club on the afternoon of 
the 31st...the wooden clothesline post that supported the Flag and the 
sloper snapped off at the ground in one of the 90 km/hr gusts. 
Interestingly, the #24 insulated wire making up the antennas seems to have 
survived.  Haven't actually seen this in daylight yet as I got stranded in 
Vancouver (BC; sorry, Dennis) last night  when the ferries refused to run 
due to the wind. It wasn't until tonight that we cleaned up what mess we 
could in the dark (i.e. the neighbor's yard no longer contains 
antennas).   Wondered why the newe Ewe was down also, until I realized that 
another neighbor's clothesline post had also snapped off, trashing the Ewe 
as it went.

Looks like the weekend will have a bit of a focus.

best wishes,

Nick
