[CW] KPH

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

An odd thing happened to me and KPH last night.

I fell asleep listening to the message traffic:  DHCO (Dead Head Company -
that means "No charge") from etc.  Message, etc. Signature, etc.

at 0258 this morning I woke up, I think I had to go to the bathroom, but
what I do then is turn on the lamp next to my bed and leave my bedroom -
but the lamp didn't work.  I looked at my tablet - which runs either from
AC Electric or battery. It was running, but I had to refresh KPH on the
SDR, and he was still sending and was announcing the Closing Message.  So
that meant my Wi-Fi and router still had power.

I went to the bathroom, the lamp did not work, the hall lamp did not work.

I reset the breakers, no lights.  I flipped ALL the breakers, off then on.
The lights in the bedroom, bathroom and hall did not come back on.  My
kitchen, dining area and living room all had power.

I looked at the ground fault indicator (GFI), I've seen these fail before.
It didn't have power.  I didn't think the bedroom and hallway were
connected  to it, but it was 3 AM, but resetting it didn't help at all.  I
reset the GFI two or three times, I reset the breakers - ALL of them
twice.  The AC in my bedroom did not return. (See below.)

When I woke up at 8 AM this morning, the lamp was ON at the side of my
bed.  The bathroom light was ON, the hallway lamp was ON.  I tripped the
GFI in the bathroom, only that went out, not the other lights.

So for some unknown and mysterious reason, it seems that the breaker
delivering electricity strangely FAILED at just before 3 AM causing me to
turn into KPH for the final BENEDICTION. I heard the remarks about my dear
friend DA (Denice Stoops) who used to send the final benediction with her
bug, making music both with Morse and her bracelets and bangles.  Nice
stuff.

So somehow I was alerted to the KPH Benediction - I don't remember all of
what it said, I was too flummoxed by the lack of power, it couldn't be the
breaker because I reset it TWICE, but evidently it was - or it was a CW
miracle.
