A hot week in April
#13
I don't doubt your experience, Candace, but something was certainly different at SPW this year from last. At the front desk they said "The AT&T tower was damaged" but... the only tower I know there looked fine. My friend, who has At&T not pre-paid was getting a different sort of connection, and it was not clear to him if he was roaming or not. I, with T-mobile, could previously get zero service there, but now I was getting voice + text on some network with a name consisting only of digits. I've never gotten a thing there before. I could get this out to near the mouth of Cottonwood, pretty much localizing to the SPW base station. There used to be a network showing as USA-ComNet which I'd pick up, as a roam, at FC and Beatty, and I could reliably see this from the Panamint Crest between, say, Telescope and Bald. Not this year.

I dunno. Just shows it is better to not rely on anything!
