Interesting, just head IPSC talking, they are having issues with some of the dish supports coming loose in the wind. The dishes are still operating, but its creating a "wind induced phase" on some of the direct microwave links.

Big problems with SAFE-T reference this incident. A bunch of the sites down there went into site trunking when the storms hit because the leased telco lines went down. There are also problems with voice channel availability due to the volume of traffic...:roll:

I heard them say Moto still had superbowl equipment in the area. I haven't heard if they brought any down or not? IPSC admin channel has been busy, as has SW-MA1 those are the only ones I have been able to pick up traffic on.

Task Force 4 was on 65168.Now on State Wide MA 4- 65456 on Safe-t going south to Southern Indiana. Sounds like Romey Fire, Purdue Fire, Clinton County Sheriff, Fri 3-2-2012 11:48PM
