Part of the reason for lower activity on 136 over the past few days 
has been my regular Op32 transmissions stopping because of the snow 
combined with high winds, then some resultant damage to my antenna 
(the vertical wire broke off from the top wires). Now the weather is 
calmer and the antenna has been fixed so I have resumed transmssions. 
Welcome back to south-east England where a little bit of snow is 
catastrophic!
