The grid may go down. Make sure all your antennas are functional and that you have backups in case they are damaged. It may be a good idea to keep a few baluns and some spools of wire to quickly erect wire antennas, if needed." “Consider getting your emergency gear out and doing a shakedown of it during a Parks on the Air operation – it puts your station to the test, gets you active on the air, and can be a fun activity done year-round.”
TEXAS QSO PARTY this weekend --- Good time to try out your gear. Also, John Denison will be at Fulshear Farmers Market. You may want to scan around even try hitting him on 146.94 or 146.88. Also, my wife is going out with her friends, so I will definitely be on the air.
