[comp.dcom.telecom] Twenty Miles South on 880 When It Hit

This telecom reader survived. I was on 880, about 20 miles south of
the Cypress Structure, when it hit.  Since I normally bypass that
section, anyway, I got home to verify that all the effect I had was
books on the floor, and then went to the Oakland EOC to provide
amateur radio communications.

The telecom related issue is: I was actually able to get through to
Florida and Boston last night, about 7:00PM.  Today the message I get
when trying to call Boston is: "RA3 Channel 1" repeated.  What does
this mean?

Grateful to be OK,

Doug
