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 [Moderator's Note: Thanks for writing. I suspect many people in the Bay Area are grateful and have much to give thanks for this evening. PT]
