Hi everyone, Well, I got through another hurricane force Pacific storm, even though we still have a high wind warning until 10 PM (PST), so they could come back up. But heavy rain coninues. I cheked my antennas via the R8 this morning and they all seem fine. I cannot get out and physically check them, but looking out the windows the three EWEs look fine and the directivity and S Meter readings on the beverage seems normal. The gusts out here hit 95 MPH and Clatsop Spit at 98 MPH. They went on for hours. No power outages fortunately, but the worst storm we have had in several years. The satellite dishes are working, but I cannot tell it any are out of alignment a bit, because of the heavy rain. The signal numbers are down, but that could be because of heavy rain. I was up all night until 7 PM and did some DXing with the Japanese Powehouses and Tahiti being heard well, but there was also lightening in the area, so a bit noisy. I went to bed after 0700 PST and finally got up a 12:30 PM. It was something else, but as far as I can tell, no damage and my antenna trees are still up! It was one Rock N' Roll night to say the least!
