I'm glad I'm not the only one still living on the planet!

Do you find places where you can only get analog signal? I haven't seen that in a while out East, but for various reasons I haven't been getting out into the sticks as much as I used to, either. It seems from the maps that there are a lot more places out West where analog service would still be useful.

That way I KNOW if it comes up on the phone will riding, better stop and check it out.
Exactly right, me too.
