Honestly, nobody wants to know about your cell reception, real estate holdings, mother's health, or hatred of cities and dongles, and I'm not sure why you raised them in response to Audionaut's interesting post or cavedriver's followups. This is an audio forum, and a thread about testing audio products. The cell reception thing just struck me because your address is right there in your sig and when I was recently there I didn't experience it.
I did enjoy the boar hunting on Oʻahu, I miss that.
Honestly, then why did you ask a question about my cell phone reception, questioning my experience?
"Aren't you in suburban Charleston? I ate dinner last year at an oyster joint on James Island, practically everyone in the place was glued to their cell phone. Service seemed miles better than I'm used to in our summer house on the opposite coast."
I politely answered it, even though YOU took it out of the audio realm.
At my mother's house on James Island, there is an upstairs bedroom that does not get a cell phone signal.
Or maybe you have never heard of or understand the Fresnel effect.
I can run a WiFi signal with 2 watts of RF transceivers at each end 60 miles (if their are no obstructions).
And what makes you think I stated things that I did not just make up out of thin air (or half truths or some combination there of).
I know that no one particularly wants to know my stuff, experiences, what I own & where.
Which is why I did not tell the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth, so help me God. Or maybe I did.
I did like boar the boar hunting. It was an interesting challenge. Different than the way we do it here.
Perhaps we should get back to Audio, where we may or may not agree on something but at least we will be on subject.
Moderators, I'm sorry that I was led of subject & participated in continuing to be of subject.
@drOss says that we shouldn't be on the subject that he started & I whole heartedly agree. No more from me about this.
