I would like to thank everyone for their show of support during the ongoing response to the Ice Storm that we had last week in the south east part of the state. I have been in contact with Larry Ford N0RIC the District EC. One of the main reasons we as the amateur community were not heavily involved was due to the infrastructure of cell phones and normal telephone service not being disrupted on a wide scale. Larry reports that power is being slowly restored, however it may still be up to a week for most of the customers to be back on line. We have some lessons learned from this and when the normalcy is restored I will compile and share with the membership. I do appreciate the stations that contacted me to see if assistance can be provided, not only within the state but the surrounding states that were affected.
