Both outages were reported on local (DC) news yesterday as having been caused by utility equipment failure. The root cause of the equipment failure wasn't disclosed.

Was the sun responsible for both of those outages? I can believe it might have been the case in NYC, but I think that SF might be too far south to be affected by that. I didn't see anything in the news about those outages being caused by the sun, but you never know. I'm just trying to learn something here. :-) 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Fri, Apr 21, 2017 at 9:11 PM, K1FZ-Bruce <[email protected]> wrote: > > Major solar flare.
