[Elecraft] 21st century connectivity

[Jozef Hand-Boniakowski]

Satellite broadband is available most everywhere in the USA.  Our 
daughter lives in Glover VT which is about as rural and out of the way 
as you can get.  She is content with the broadband that she has.  See:

I have no hope they will ever bring cable, fiber, or WiMAX to anywhere close enough to effect my connection speed.  A one megabyte attachment chokes my email system for about fifteen minutes.  Larger files?  Hopefully I can maintain a connection overnight or it is no use even trying.  Luckily I do drive into Portland, Oregon where they do have faster connections so I take a hard drive along and all the URLs I've collected over the week so I can grab the files.  No, broadband connections are not available in all locations.  The U.S. has a long way to go to catch up with Japan, Korea, or Denmark.
