Power was restored about 11:35 AM EDT. The telephone system operated off the backup generator, but calls could not be transferred from the operator's console. We're looking into how to improve that. W1AW was operational on its generator - in fact we had a guest operating on 20 meters during the outage. I'm told the Internet connection may be up and down today for an unrelated reason.

We have lost electric power at ARRL HQ due to a line complication down the street, and it is expected to be off for a couple of hours. This will impact email and phone operation there, so if you are trying to contact HQ or receive an email about someone being unable to reach HQ, that is the reason. Joel
