Here I just shut my eyes and keep running through the storm.If I take a hit I'll just put my back up radio on .But that's just what I do here with my beacon station.

It's good to have the much needed rain here. So far it has been a good storm with a rain rate of 2.5" ( 6.4 cm ) per hour at times. I should have it back on in the morning, but I will let you know when I fire it back up. 73Herb KC5MO
