As I sit here not participating in the Jan VHF QSO party partially due to
a cold but mostly due to freezing rain, I wonder. I wonder what stories
and advice the group has about this sort of situation on VHF and up.

What sorts of design and fabrication details work to make antennas perform
well in environmental extremes?

Agree....
No way to participate this year.
Have so much ice hanging I dare not move anything.
Lost the 40 and 80 meter inverted vee set up yesterday.
All three towers and the ground mount 160 vert are intact, so far.
Wind is howling, power is on again off again.
Hoping for the best at this point.
Northeast Montana is not a nice place to be right now.
