Hello. Hello. Anyone home? I dusted off the old 5kw generator yesterday and made sure it was running. Had it all gassed up and ready to go this morning. Beautiful cool morning here in OK. The generator started first pull and purred like a kitten. Fired up the rig and nobody home! I checked into the Texas traffic net and let them know I was running emergency power. They had heard about it. Chatted with W6I (one of the Route 66 stations in Amarillo). He knew about it but decided not to run emergency power for the special event. Worked Jim K9JF/7 in the Washington Salmon Run. He had a good pile going. Never found anyone running emergency power or looking for emergency power stations. Guess we didn't have enough time to push for participation. At least I know that I can operate under emergency conditions. Anyone else give it a try?
