Earthquake damage to BAs

[H. W. Petersen]

To those who read of damage to the radio collection of Dave, WB7AWK, in
Tacoma:

I live in Bellevue about 25 miles from Dave and the quake forces were
similar at our two locations. I have several stacks of BAs also but they
didn't suffer any damage. The stacks rest on thick carpet on the floor,
and a piece of carpet separates each radio in the stack. I wish I could
take credit for brilliant planning to avoid quake damage but I was just
lucky. Apparently the carpet allowed the stacks of radios to flex rather
than fall over. Carpet use is recommended to any BA owners in earthquake
prone areas.
