Hurricane Harvey was bad enough. Near-mythological levels of destruction. Now we have Irma, and other hurricanes on the way.
The news of Irma’s rampage in the Caribbean was really shocking. I spent a few idyllic days on St. Thomas many years ago, and it apparently got slammed. Other islands fared even worse, including some places revered by DXpedition teams, like Turks and Caicos. I’m sure not an antenna was left standing, and even if there was, that X-class solar flare didn’t help. Not a good day for radio as backup communications. We can only hope the storm will lose energy on its way to Cuba and Florida. Yes, it’s OT, but if there’s some way the Elecraft community can help, feel free to post. Were you affected by the storm? Do you need donated equipment to recover, or some other assistance? 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
