Wed, 24 Sep 2003 17:33:58 -0400

In this and past emergencies I have found that a Virginia Power employee =
will in most cases accompany=20
an out of state or non-Va pwr crew to for safety reasons to verify open =
and closed circuits for the lines nearby.
I have never identified a radio use with ASPLUNDH.

  I passed their trucks on Thursday evening as I was
  going home, northbound on I-270 and then west on I-70.
   They, of course, were coming East on I-70 and South
  on I-270.
  I was impressed by the amount of trucks.
  I wondered about who has to worry about radio
  inter-operability when a power company comes to a
  different area.  Do they use the "hosts" radio
  frequencies or do they use their own on a non
  interferring basis or itenerant freqs?  Or, does the
  host just basically, throw them a handheld and that's
  what they get?

  On Wednesday evening, I passed a large convoy on
  ASPLUNDH (sp?) trucks.  For a private company, they
  sure had A LOT (around 150 +crews) to spare for the
  hurricane.
  What does ASPLUNDH use for frequencies and radios?
  Thanks,
  -Shawn
