Gary, Even in this modern age we are all reliant on electricity. Imagine if there was a real disaster. We better participate in emergency exercises more often... We all think of our area as built up but with the number of people located in the immediate area, imagine an 8.8 quake here.? 73, Dee, NB2F

I am sorry Echolink was not available for our net on Thursday, March 4. Our club Director of engineering did not have Internet capabilities do to the storms last week. I myself was without power for almost 7 days and 11 days without Internet/phone and cable. Hope to hear you on the next net on March 18. 73 Gary/WA2AQH _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
