KTPA Tower offline for Milton
« on: October 09, 2024, 16:09:07 UTC »
We are headed to higher ground for the night. We live in and older house with a huge oak tree overhead. I turned the tower feed (119.5) off. I hope to be back midday Thursday and will be back online if we have power. Stay safe if your in the path of Hurricane Milton!

We're back online again.

We were without power for a couple days. We had some minor damage to our house. We have a huge pile of debris tree debris. 30 years in Florida, by far the worst hurricane I've experienced in the Tampa area.

Prayers to folks that took the brunt of the storm!!

Glad to hear that you're OK and that Milton didn't affect you as much.  Thanks for letting us know.
