KC7GHC going high-tech here and talking about antennas and stuff, about 55 years ago I put up a 16-foot long periodic antenna pointed directly at South Mountain on the roof of our brand new house. We started watching 93 channels I think and then of course we don't watch any TV now, we're there and once in a while Joyce will find one that's interesting and we'll watch it for a few minutes. But mainly, can you guys remember back to dial-up service? Well that's what I was doing way back when was dial-up and of course now I've got, well we had CenturyLink hard-wired through the bridle pass out there, two or three miles of underground twisted pair that were getting broken all the time for 54 years. Last year we did a negative CenturyLink, completely got rid of that underground twisted pair and went with AT&T 5G over the air and that's working pretty good. So that's, the whole thing comes in now streaming and I've got the big display on the wall that we use for the TV and display. We got that hooked to the main computer through an HDMI cable and remote control of the mouse and the keyboard and all of that and so we default to a web browser that brings up FoxNews.com and occasionally CNN.com for comparison and we get everything over there, all the streaming everything right at our tiptoes under the mouse and the wireless keyboard controls there sitting in our easy chairs. So there we go, we've gone 55 years from way back, way before dial-up service to now everything's 5G streaming. Anyway, back to net control, more than you ever wanted to know.
