Hi Dave,
My 'washing line' HF antenna is sitting strong and the rest of the antennas are in the attic so snug as a bug in a rug!
I hope everyone else's fares as well.

We had a day or two of snow Dave but the following rain cleared it all up. Blowing a right old gale today though!!

No snow here but rain and high winds but we always get that being on the coast. My cobweb antenna has a loose leg on the 6m wire the cord has snapped so easy enough to get down and sort out. Got some Kevlar cord for that and hopefully it will last a few years will do them all when it's down.

No snow yet here in n/France, but it's getting a bit breezy
Have lowered the VG4, and the HWEF won't be a problem unless the tree it's in comes down. The T2LT on a fibreglass pole gaffa taped to the cabin back door porch is bending a bit, but should be okay.

No snow here although there was a short period in the week mostly sleet, did not last long. Winds about severe gale 9 all ants still up, all mine are guyed, barely moving in the wind.
Got 4mm Mastrant guys on the cobwebs 25foot mast. 2mm kevlar on the 6BTV. 3mm steel guys on the Tennamast
