KD6VLN, I do recall receiving some type of simulated PSPS message in the past couple days. But, I'll be danged if I can find it now.

Good morning Robot. If I try to access mountainart's pages on building his cabin under General Discussion, I just get kicked back to the main Forum menu.

KD6: no but i checked the oil on and ran the generator for 20 minutes. Bought it after the last preventive outage a couple of years back. I'm sure itll find its special purpose one of thesemdays when we least expect it...

Did anyone get a (simulated) PSPS message from BVEC today? Or was this only to public safety personnel and not those who had signed up for notifications.
