Back on the air after the storm.

Finally, we have all our services back. Schaefferstown lost power, cable, and phone service as a result of Sunday's ice storm. Luckily, the direct impact to our immediate area was relatively low. A few smaller branches came down along with 2 antennas here at N3HCP, Radio Free Schaefferstown. Several hours with surface temperatures above freezing at the start of the storm helped hold ice accumulation down to about 1/4 inch. Other parts of Lebanon county weren't as luckily.
Power was out for 27 hours from early Sunday until Monday morning...a relatively short time, all things considered. We were able to keep ourselves comfortable and keep the satellite TV going with the use of the back-up generator.
