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.<br><br>73,<br>Mark, K5ER<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>LCC mailing list<br><a
