Well, that didn't go as many expected. I had no expectations that the Government was going to actually shut down any part of the electrical grid. I was surprised that anybody thought that. I did listen to 5.3305 Mhz and checked in on Saturday and again on Sunday. The biggest surprise I got was when Checking in, they wanted my zip code. ZIP CODE?
? They wanted to contact at least one Ham in every county in the US. A Zip Code doesn't identify what county you're in. My Zip code is for a post office that 2 counties away. Its only 4 miles but I have to leave my county, cross part of another county, and then Cross some RR Tracks in another county to get to the post office. Government logic defies reason. They should have ask for our full Grid Square info. That would get them to about 100 Feet from the house. At least on Sunday, the guy was asking for what county we were in. Hmmmmmm.... Maybe they learned something from Saturday's Zip Code nonsense.
