Finally, I can get a cell phone site...  We were camping in Red Rock 
Canyon at the western edge of the Mojave when it hit at 2:46 a.m.  Lots 
of rolling lasted for about 30 seconds.  Bobbie & I had probably been 
waken by the mag 6 foreshock and were wide awake as the 7.0 blew 
through.  I was going nuts with no access to a cell site to get some 
info.  Our only outlet was a 2 meter ham repeater.

Fortunately we were able to get a satellite path so we were able to watch 
the LA tv stations for info.  Lots of aftershock action... but you 
already know that...

Socal doesn't have as much telemetry activiy as we have in the north.  
Guess on my next adventure I'll bring along my LC-4...  :)

Ken
