You need to make sure you can manage in your house without
electricity.
Most people's heating/cooking dependson it.


I'm almost looking forward to it!

I've not had a decent power cut since installing the 7KVA genny a few
years ago. *It has had more test hours on it than real usage hours.

Probably a comment best for other news groups, but if it happens it will
be nice to be able to listen on HF without all the local PLT/PLA QRM
too. :-)

Not actually that useful in a prolonged power cut.

In any event. if your lights are on and everyone elses are off, you
will become a hate figure.

Even if you have solar PV you become a hate figure to the jealous,
idle, stupid and incompetant.
