Not much traffic today

[Don Wilhelm]

There has not been much traffic on the reflector today.

I guess everyone is paying attention to the track of Irma as it moves up
Florida.

I hope and pray that all our ham friends in Florida are hunkered down in
a safe location, or managed to get to a location where there will be
little or no impact.

It now looks like we will be OK here in the North Carolina piedmont, but
we will have to put up with some rain for the next 3 days.  We started
to prepare for the worst a few days ago, but now that the track is more
defined, we should be "in the clear".  The mountain region may get some
good winds and a rain soaking.

73,
Don W3FPR

Or the X9.8 flare this morning screwed up Internet propagation. [:-)  20
went out like a light bulb burning out, signals are now reappearing. 
Glad to hear you're pretty much in the clear.

Or perhaps they were put to sleep by the X8.2 solar flare that pretty much killed HF propagation a few hours ago.

Having spent too much of my life waiting out hurricanes in south Florida (some of it involving emergency comm), I agree it is very much not a fun time.
Our family escaped the area this time (Pasco County, FL) so they are safe. Like you, I hope all others are as well.

73!
