This is an interesting forward from George, K5GH.  Scroll on down and 
follow the link to K9DX's 160m array.  Pretty amazing.  Apparently the 
ice storm brought it down.

73,

Alan

Don't know if you heard but K9DX lost his 9 element vertical array for 160m.

If you check out his webpage you can see what it is. A circle of 8 elements
with a driven element in the middle. I assume by switching he can have a
vertical three element beam in 8 directions. Does not get much better than
that on 160.

This is the message from the Eastern Iowa DX Association reflector about
K9DX I mentioned at lunch today.  Don't know exactly what "All 9 elements
went down" means but it can't be good.  Best case would be if they just
snapped at the base but it probably didn't happen that way.

I havent heard of anyone losing antennas locally in the ice storm.  I got
the following from W0FLS this morning.
