The worst of Storm Ciara, the largest and most powerful low pressure system since 2013, that saw winds peaking at Hurricane Force 12 for brief periods, has now passed away.

Luckily, once again, there doesn't seem to have been any damage to property, antennas or otherwise, up here. To save our sanity, we spent much of the weekend away from the house.

Throughout the whole thing, my 1/4 wave vertical for 14MHz flew without any problem. Everything else took cover on or near the ground. Despite Ciara's passing, winds remain quite strong, and are due to storm again next weekend, though not anywhere as bad as this past weekend.
I'll return to full operation in about two weeks' time as, apart from the poor weather, there are many family things to get on with at the moment.
