Hello LF!
Thanks Terry and Henny for the updating on the test message.. 
will try to send again now the message I sent last saturday morning..

<<I'm just back from a quick task on the roof.. where I had to plow 
snow to reach the 
antennas in order to be sure that everything was in 
safety.
During  the forced qrt will have time for some new design aimed 
not longer to better efficiency but for higher reliability.
The recent 
bad weather made some damage:
-the coax of the UHF local antenna was 
pulled out of the connecor from a snow block sleeping on the roof.
-the 
mini whip coax and circuit were pulled down from the case which now is 
on te top of the mast with the rope
 frozen in the pulley
-As supposed 
the LF ATU has the HV terminals buried in the snow and one of the guys 
of the LF base 
coil was broken and the coil lies now safely on the 
roof but is of course out of use..
Hope the weather will improve soon 
and all that snow on the roof melt allowing fixing of all antennas.
Only working antennas now are the 80 m dipole and the 160m dipole.. 
local communication on UHF with friends goes via a vertical dipole on 
the balcony!>>>

CU soon
