[Elecraft] Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

[Tim N9PUZ]

They are expecting an extra 1/2-3/4 million people along the path in
Southern Illinois. It's a very rural area and the State expects backups on
the Interstates because the roads there do not have true cloverleafs, there
is a stop sign at the top of each ramp and only room for about 16 cars on
the ramp itself before traffic backs up onto the Interstate itself.

Illinois ARES and the American Red Cross both have hams on standby Friday
and Saturday with operators on station Sunday and Monday. The State EOC is
partially activated and the RACES Team is on standby as well.

Another big concern is bad weather. Many of the cars, etc. will be parked
in mowed pastures. If there is a lot of rain they may not be able to get
out and thousands could be stranded without food, water, or rest room
facilities.

I hope all of the preparations turn out to be over reacting.
