Hi there! Good for you. I’m getting one ASAP. And a lot of batteries to go with it.
When Hurricane Ike hit here, there were some panicked people on FR who where in the wake.
I was listening to HAMS on Galveston Island that were up at transmitting.
Cell phones are out, electric is out, internet is out.
