Today's Daily Dronie: Whole 'lotta shakin' goin on! We had an earthquake yesterday, while I was on site. Impressive to watch the crew's emergency response. Yes, there was a man in the tower during the quake! He got down super fast and is just fine. I stuck around and got some extras for the client.

What a day... RTK & satellites were strong, but RF and Transmitter Signal's were questionable for sure. However, it was a flashback being in a bus yard again, after spending 20 years in UCSD's..20+ years ago!
