We lost power the other night for about 20 minutes.  I do not know the
reason.  I went out to the car to get my 5-cell flashlight (torch) and I 
noticed all my neighbors were outside, talking about the fact they
had no power.  It *was* almost completely dark.

What did I do?  I pulled out my radios and started searching
longwave (which was beautifully quiet) and the X-band.  Unfortunately the 
power came back on right after I had searched the band once, so I didn't 
really get a chance to do any real DXing.

You know you're a DX junkie when you say "unfortunately the power came back 
on" in a sentence.
