CQ160m… aftermath

Couple of minutes after the contest finished a severe sleet “storm” started for about 15 minutes long. Had big luck as this short icy rain cut both of the T wires completely so this would have meant the end the contest if arrives earlier.

80m vertical not in a healthy shape:

…broken 160m T:

…that’s a 4mm OD rope:


…loaded Beverage wires:

 

…and that’s a 0.8mm OD wire:

…and the coil up process:


Now I have indubitably several meter longer wires for the ARRL-DX CW.
