[AMRadio] rural landline

[Rob Atkinson]

Development is bad news.  I hope it stays away from you.  I have a TV
and an antenna.  I turn it on maybe 4 times a year and check my CRT
and converter box.  I have DSL and a 10 dollar cell phone for hamfests
and POTS for every day phone calls.  I get by FB.
