We had a power outage recently in the Northeast. The Echolink connection to
a local 2 meter repeater was down because the RoadRunner cable system has no
battery backup in these parts.

When inclement WX hits and the phone lines are down it will be back to
Ham
Radio the way it always has been. Good old radios and antennas....and for
those with preplannning a Marine battery or two as well.

How often has your fantasy been played out? Can you give examples where
YOU
encountered that?
