The ole swr's are climbing, up to 1.8 now. Wet snow all day in Western Wisconsin.

Here is what it looks like outside today.

You can keep that nastiness on your side of the lake! I'm already bummed that I have to put the Harley away this weekend

It's a cool 48* F here right now, but the sun is shining and no snow.
I agree, you can keep it up there with you.

AGREED! It has been hanging in the high 50's and low 60's the past few days here on the east coast. Nice and sunny too. Today it was so nice I didn't even need nor want a jacket while working in the yard. All hail global warming! :laugh:

It was a NASTY 68 degrees here in AZ today... had to get the thermals out

I have a foot of snow at my place and it was about 10 deg. this morning. So cry me a river

It is supposed to be nice on friday. I need to mow one more time and get the snow blower out and ready to go, so I guess friday is the day.

Won't anyone please think about his poor antenna?

My wolf .64 did that also, during snow conditions the swr would rise and a day or two after it had melted the swr would return to normal.

The problem was in the gamma match having the tube side facing up so if a guy to reverse that it would have resolved the manufacturing issue.

if it gets above 3.0 start busting the ice off

I hear you! Mine are back down now, it was the real wet stuff that made her climb yesterday but the little snow we are getting today is having no effect.

Yea I threw a little fire in the wire yesterday and it did help, dried her out a little. hehe
