Hello XCA ARES, I just received the PSPS Watch call from PGE. They gave me a start time of 1600 to 1800 on Sunday Sept 27 with an “All Clear” on Monday Sept 27 at 0600. I have created an event on ARES Connect, please log any time you spend on this event. Please make sure that you have fuel for your generators, charged you HT battery, plus charging you spare HT battery. I see that the times would be overnight, but it takes another 12 or more hours to restore power. I will link the N6FRG and the W6WPT repeaters via WiRES if needed.
