I provide space at some of my transmitter locations for Ham club repeaters. All of the sites have backup power. My own communications room runs on a 48VDC battery plant floating on a Lorain charger. There is a Generac motor/generator set that starts automatically upon utility failure. A number of the groups I am aware of regularly hold drills to test their readiness in the event of widespread power outages. All in all, they are much better prepared than the communications companies. Comcast and AT&T will both go down within hours of a regional outage. AT&T's Uverse batteries will all die, and Comcast doesn't have enough power trucks to cover all of its outside plant at once. Even if they did, the road conditions might not allow the travel. -- John Higdon +1 408 ANdrews 6-4400 AT&T-Free At Last |
