From Michael Hyatt's BB posted December 31, 1999 08:12 PM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am monitoring a MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) net right now, and a station in North Carolina checked into the net on emergency power. He says that his entire county's power is down right now. Has been since around 6 or 7 pm.

Lots of hams (including myself) have gel cells, car batteries or generators that allow them to keep on the air when city/county power goes off, so that is why he was able to check in.

I have not heard any other MARS station report a power outage."
