[HCARC] Electronic outages

[John Canfield]

Yessir! Lost Internet - we use Beecreek wireless (WISP) and I think 
their Internet pipes are sourced in Boerne. Tried to use my phone (AT&T) 
as a hot spot and they lost Internet connectivity as well. Didn't think 
to try the XYL's Verizon phone.

When we lose Internet, we lose TV now. Couple of months ago we dumped 
DirecTV (about $140/month) for YouTube TV ($35/month). We get about 25 
channels including San Antonio locals, a perfect combo for our viewing 
requirements and we save about one hundred bucks a month :-)

In the connectivity void, I had to resort to watching a cheesy 1960s 
vintage Italian SciFi movie on DVD.

Gale - if you are on this list thanks for returning my power cord from 
last year's Field Day!! Unfortunately we can't do Field Day this year 
due to a massively disruptive house remodeling/addition project 
currently underway. I'm in the middle of packing up all of my equipment 
to move into our Morgan building.
