ICOM AH4 waterproof ?
After some years outside, my ICOM AH4 with a short wire, did a strange noise so I decided to checked it. When opened it saw this! Waterproof ? I don’t thinks so ! Probably up to 1 liter of water inside.
Storm “Synne”
An active European windstorm caused extreme weather event named “Desmond” in UK and Ireland. In Norway got a name “Synne” which brought exceptionally heavy rainfall to much of West-South part of Norway. High winds up to 30 m/s did a lot of damage. I was lucky that only top antenna for 23cm got a some minor displacement.
