We had a tremendous storm come through this weekend starting on Friday. We had very high winds of 50+ mph and non-stop heavy rain starting Friday and continuing into Sunday. The NA RTTY Sprint started at 0000z (7:00 pm) Saturday evening. I got on about 10 mins late because of the weather and I made 8 contacts before the power went out. The power stayed off for 13 hours 0000z to 1300z which is 7:20 pm local time to 9:15 am local time with the 1 hour Daylight Savings time change thrown in.

There are folks in my town still without power. There were large trees down throughout the area, massive flooding and property damage. For me, luckily no damage and the G5RV stayed up and weathered the storm fine.

Next weekend I have a large project launch for work so operating in the CP WPX SSB contest will be minimal. If things go well with the launch, maybe Sunday will allow for some operating, when do things ever go well with a large launch?

73 and stay dry,
