Oh oh oh! Here's a great read I haven't done in a few years!

This guy was one of the #HamRadio BBS operators in the bay area during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and he describes the project of trying to keep the packet network flowing as everyone and their uncle tried to send welfare checks into the bay area in a time before the Internet.

I really love how it gives a sense of scale for how important the amateur packet network was there for a time. #PacketRadio #DigitalRadio #BBS #1200baud #history

@jaymerryfield @TimQuerengesser At the very least it’s a nostalgia generator for those of us who remember the dial-up days.
