I'm not sure why it's dropping out - I check it now and then.  My wifi Jetpack is working although the service looks slow now and then, and that might be dropping and picking back up, but - I don't have an easy way to keep an eye on it continuously.  I'll fiddle with it.

When I click on the Meridix audio-only screen it says ?not yet started? of off the air.

Thanks Slim for all the things you do for us.

I would blame it on the Dixie fire. To much smoke and ash screwing up the air waves.

Man-o-man, I'm sorry.  I set up the streaming computer back at home to get everything updated - and today it's decided that it needs to update again  and that's what it's doing now - - for an hour or two.  I'm also having a hassle with the internet connection - my Jetpack is acting funky, the HotSpots aren't strong, and the wifi that I score from  White Goose Bar is weak.

I'm gonna take it back to the room tonight and see if I can get it working better. 

I'm so sorry.  Last year it was flawless, this year it's crappy.

No problem Slim. We can survive. I have a bull horn with two 9 volt batteries that i can strap to my carrier pigeon and you should have it by about 4:45
 in the morning. Just point it to the west when talking in to it. Get some rest tonight. Thanks for all you do.

I'll get the official list of who's in impound tomorrow about 6am when I'm on the way out to the salt.  It's difficult to make a list at the end of the day, by the way, 'cause some/many of the vehicles are tarped so they are difficult to recognise, and because there's often a mess o' people talking with Dan and Mike in the impound trailer and I don't like pestering them -- and go do the same thing in the motorcycle impound area.

Nah, it's easier to get the printout in the morning...but I think Doug Grieve qualified, pretty sure Amiota Strasbiurg did, Chet Thomas B/BSTR did, and I've gotta hit the sack and tell you the rest of 'em in the morning.
