Mike makes an important point. That is why I keep paying $10.00 per
month for a dialup ISP. Although I have broadband in all of my
studios and at home, I do not have it at any of my transmitter sites.
When working with a tower crew I use my dialup account to monitor NWS
radar in order to give the riggers advance warning of any approaching
weather problems.
