Scott, 

I would love to transmit overnight. Unfortunately, there are high 
winds forecast for this evening and perhaps tomorrow, too. My antenna 
thrashes about in the wind and adding high voltages to the mix would 
be dangerous.

As soon as it is safe I will certainly do some overnight 
transmissions. Let's hope conditions stay up.

73 de Mike
