Dear Rick WA1RHT:... eventually Conn. will see same.

It's actually RKT (in New Hampshire) not RHT.

The cryptic spelling in my From: line is an attempt to deter spammers, who
no doubt harvest this and other rec.radio.amateur forums for call signs,
add " to the end, and add them to their spam lists.

Of course any such attempt to deter spammers is likely doomed to failure
but I do the best I can... :-(

As for ice we actually do get ice from time to time here, but high winds
are rare.

Of course, all you need is once, I suppose...
