17:00 WW8II-BRUCE: I tried going and shacking the antennas to maybe break the ice off but did not work ice is solid and with the 11mph north wind it is just getting more on it. , we get 2 top 3 times a year this situation.

17:02 WW8II-BRUCE: I am going to attemp to tune with a carrier now see what happens

17:03 K5HFG-DON: I sae a carrier

17:03 WW8II-BRUCE: WOW

17:04 WW8II-BRUCE: Maybe I melted some of the ice LOL
