Man has it been a very busy 48 hours here in SK / VE5 land.
It started out with major storms all across the province. Several Tornados, lots of rain and damaging winds. Today many parts of Saskatoon have no power thanks to falling trees onto power lines because of the high winds.
I have 3 scanners here at my office to listen to the action.
2 BC246T
1 BCD396T for the Provincial system (man are they busy)
I also have my 2 meter Yeasu VX170 for IRLP and local repeaters. (not too much action there)
Last night there was power out for a big section on Saskatoon and up highway 11 north. Power at my place was out for 7 hours. Thankfully, I purchased a generator some time ago and I've used it several times. Kept the fridge, TV, and radios going all night.
