Those of you in California are likely familiar with the camera network present on the larger California interstates/highways. For those of you who are not, here is a link to the network in the northern third of the state (on the way to Oregon). I-5 is basically the only efficient route from Southern/Central California to the eclipse area. http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist2/travelmap.htm Should make for interesting viewing this weekend. Click on the red dots to view the camera at the site. I for one plan to stay well clear of I-5 this weekend… Ken K6MR From: Bill Fenech<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2017 11:03 To: Clay Autery<mailto:[email protected]> Cc: Elecraft Reflector Reflector<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets? https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.bellsmith.3/videos/10208675848647902/ On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 10:05 AM, Clay Autery <[email protected]> wrote:Wow... sure hope this isn't the case in North Tennessee... :) ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 8/17/2017 11:17 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote:Many of us are headed into the solar eclipse zone in the next few days,my family included. We’re leaving today for Ashland, Oregon. Early on Saturday (possibly *very* early), we’ll be driving to a campground in Corvallis, right in the Path of Totality.There are widespread predictions of epic gridlock for many of Oregon’sroadways. I’m guessing this will be true in other states as well. Authorities are suggesting that travelers have several days worth of food and water, as they could be stranded on freeways that become parking lots. Many gas stations in small towns like Bend are already out of fuel.The cellphone network could be affected as well. Imaging 1 millionpeople camping, in effect, on I-5, state route 97, etc., trying to call home or reach emergency services. Under the circumstances, amateur radio may very we called upon to provide emergency communications. Fortunately many of us will be using mobile or portable stations that are immune to loss of power or cell service.If you know of any specific networks that are planning to activate forthis event, please post that info here (and elsewhere).Lacking any defined plan, I’ll be monitoring 7283.5 kHz, home of thedaily west-coast “Noontime Net”. 40 meters is ideal for this sort of regional coordination and emergency traffic, especially in areas not well served by VHF/UHF repeaters. I’ll have a KX2, some wire, and a couple of Li-ion internal battery packs.73, Wayne N6KR______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
