Last night was a test run for me. I had partially, but not 
completely removed the HF wires I had put up. This allowed me to run 
MF but I was initially down about 2 dB on power because the antenna 
resistance has increased significantly. Things got worse during the 
night for reasons not yet known. Maybe ice.

If the towers are free of ice today I will climb and completely 
remove the offending HF wires. If successful in getting things back 
to normal I will spend at least two hours calling CQ on JT9 during 
the prime TA window tonight. QRX for an update later in the day.

73,
