Re: Ice Storm in Michigan - generators
Hi Wendell,
Every source of service of any kind is subject to failure. Natural gas is a heavy hitter here - in widespread use. I started paying attention to service outages, availability, and costs

Cyclone in the Morning
I'll be using the Cyclone on 7122 in the morning about 8-8:15 or so. Hope to
work a bunch of Four Staters with it. It's plugging along nicely and is a joy to
use.

It is sort of like being on the grid, or not. You are far better off not being on the grid. Every thing has it's own fate. Shawnr kf7yff

Re: Ice Storm in Michigan - generators
Natural gas uses compressors to maintain the line pressure, those compressors require electricity to pump but they have backup systems in case electrical power fails.
You would never ever want air

Re: Ice Storm in Michigan
The gensets at work are all scheduled to exercise approximately 30
minutes each week. They are fueled by propane so condensation or fuel
degradation isn't the issue. They are monitored by an alarm
