Re: [HCDX]: G Hauser's Shortwave/DX Report 99-73





I was lucky - I only lost some of the roof, four big trees in the garden - and all my antennas.

We lost power the other night for about 20 minutes. I do not know the
reason. I went out to the car to get my 5-cell flashlight (torch) and I noticed all my neighbors were outside, talking about the fact they
had no power. It *was* almost completely dark.


What did I do? I pulled out my radios and started searching
longwave (which was beautifully quiet) and the X-band. Unfortunately the power came back on right after I had searched the band once, so I didn't really get a chance to do any real DXing.


You know you're a DX junkie when you say "unfortunately the power came back on" in a sentence.
