NE Power Out
 
Dial-a-watt was set too high when I keyed my mic. It's been readjusted.

Twist,

I wish you could have seen my face when I discovered the problem. My power
didn't go out, but when I changed from the satellite to local tv for the
news, everything was dead. I thought the dogs had pressed some buttons.
Pulled the entertainment center out and was checking all kinds of cable -
then I checked two other televisions hooked into the system. All seemed
dead on local stations. When I suddenly discovered a weak UHF station, I
grew suspicious. I called a friend and his cable was on, but no television.
I found out what was going on with the HT. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I
had a few dozen jumper coax cables lying around .... BWaaaaaaaa!

You take too much credit however. The latest theory is that it was our
friend N8*** hooking up a doorbell :)

Hehehe,,,dig it,,,,some of these thunderstorms knock out power for a
little bit,,,,one of these days I'll learn to look outside before
messing with all my stuff,,I'm guilty of the same behavior.
