Pahrump loses Telephone / Cell Service
SNCARES called to action
Pahrump, Tuesday 23rd of September 2014. Construction crews cut the fiber optic cable for AT&T, which knocked out all cell phones but T-Mobile and about half of the land lines and internet.
This caused limited contact within and outside of the valley. This accident happened about 8-8:30am and phones were restored at about 6pm that same day. Vance Payne, the Emergency Manager for Nye County, who is also a ham, called upon the Southern Nye County Amateur Radio Emergency Services, Inc for help with communications.
Jerry Fuge, who is the Emergency Coordinator for A.R.R.L.'s Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, stepped up and called on all members of RACES and SNCARES, INC to help out with using their amateur radios and equipment. By Leo Marchetti AD7DP, Pahrump Correspondent
