[Elecraft] NVIS HF vs VHF line-of-sight & CB in 9.0 quakes

[Ken Talbott]

Hazel left me with a downed Willow tree fort in Virginia for weeks until the adults arrived with saws to remove it.

I was at work during the Loma Prieta earthquake. Our HP building (now a Tesla building) on Deer Creek Road had hydrogen piping and  HF Waste  piping. That was fine, but a 4  main in the sprinkler system broke, soaking lab notebooks. I remember planning a route home to Mountain View that did not go under or over any bridges. I still had to deal with a water main break.

And then there was Hurricane Betsy when I was growing up in Baton Rouge. No phone for 7 days and no power for 10 days. The toppled red oak in the back yard was the best tree fort ever.
