[Elecraft] power outage

[wa2dkg@juno.com]

The information noted below about cell phones and the internet is
WRONG!!!...How do you use the internet without power to run the
computer?...Almost all cell phones were out in NY during the black
out...Here on Long Island my power was out for 22 hours, and my HARD
WIRED land line was out all of that time...We had no way to make
emergency calls...

"Let's look at the BPL issue from an even more fundament viewpoint. The
utility companies aren't capable of keeping their outdated grids up and
running as was proven on Friday. It's already been reported that the
Internet and a large percentage of cell phones continued to function in
spite of the NE blackout. Sending the FCC a simple message to that affect
I would hope to be sufficient in putting BPL to rest, permanently."
