[LCC] everyone okay?

[Mark, K5ER]

	While many of us who wear multiple hats were busy last week, we are still 
concerned with our about our friends. I have spoken with several club 
members and am happy to hear that we, as a group, had very few issues with 
the hurricane. KN5O was without power and internet, but they were hoping to 
have things restored soon. K1DW is okay and AA5AU is safe. I have seen 
posts from KI5XP, who hasn't said there were any major issues in the 
Lafayette area, and KG5VK was fine near Shreveport. No club members around 
Monroe lost anything major, but one non club member, who had been inactive 
for over 10 years lost a 60-70 foot R-25 to a falling tree clipping its 
guys. It is now about 30 degrees from plumb, leaning against a stand of 
pine trees. A number of us, myself included seem to have lost end supported 
dipoles, but I purposefully use string that breaks before the wire or 
center connection point, so mine is a ten minute fix to get a new string 
over the tree. Hope everybody else fared well and will be ready for the 
upcoming contest season.
