[AMRadio] What's up with the amfone.net thing

[Rob Atkinson]

I agree with you Bernie and I thought about all that and in my case I
found ways of getting the wx info I need by using NOAA WX radio, and a
local tv station subchannel that broadcasts wx radar all the time.  I
figured I could use a 300 KHz rx as a lightning detector.   Here's one
thing that bothered me:   I was off-line at home for a week and really
felt internet withdrawal.  I'd get home from work and not know what to
do with myself.  I don't like being "addicted" to anything (except
maybe coffee) and I realized I had become dependent on the internet
like I used to be with TV and I found that disturbing.
