Most of the power is back on. Too many AC units running is probable
cause. Most hospitals and many businesses have backup generators
because power is unreliable anyway.

Forecast : New Delhi, India - 94F
Jackson, MS - 100F
Detroit, MI - 86F

Yeah, we hit a 100 or so a few weeks ago, and along with the drought it's been miserable.

This year has been bad as well with those of us who have allergies.

I don't recall it being this bad for a good number of years.

Not sure how W-J ended up under the Indian power failure topic...

....but a friend of mine (now an SK) was a major W-J collector, so I got
to play with quite a few of them.

If you are monitoring for one of the intelligence agencies, I guess they
are OK, but for ham/SWL use, I thought they were sorta OK but nothing to
write home about, especially considering the outrageous price they
command. Your mileage may vary.

For a third of the price I would much rather have a top-drawer ham
transceiver with a general coverage receiver.
