Well, the antenna is mostly down.
The "Wake low" that hit us unexpectedly today broke the copper pipe on the 
far end of the antenna and two of the loading wires are on the ground.
It looks like the next 10 foot long piece of 3/4 inch copper pipe will need 
a broom handle inside it or more than two wires in the bridle.
This is the second one that has folded in a high wind since 2006.
