[Elecraft] OT GENERAC generators

[Joshua Gould, K8WXA]

We have what ever is in the 500 gallon propane tank. If it were generator only, I don't know long it would last. Add in the furnace and it would probably only last a few days. Getting more would be a call to the propane company if they were still operating.
