    Is communication still limited? I have family that was in the path and I heard from them before, during, and after. I guess maybe they got lucky.

    I helped set up a phone patch for an Asheville resident Saturday morning.

    Using the Intercon as a setup point and directed the stations to move off net frequency a bit to have their welfare conversation.

    It worked! The party found a nearby local to Asheville, and the traffic was passed.
