Texas Panhandle
Written on January 23, 2009 by Katherine W. Prawl
We are on the road between Vernon and Amarillo, Texas, a few miles east of Childress, and while the road (US 287) is pretty good, 4-lane and pretty smooth, with not much traffic, the AT&T cellphone reception on our iPhones is pretty nearly non-existent, and it took several minutes for the Verizon data card to grab a signal strong enough to load my blog admin page so I could write this. I guess this is officially a fringe area, although there are cellphone towers every once in awhile. I wish I could remember the password for my router’s interface. It’s recorded on my desktop computer but I forgot to copy it into either my cellphone or the database on this laptop. I’ll get it tonight when we stop. I think there is a tool in there to tell me how strong a signal the modem is receiving, which would be interesting to know. Places like this it would be good to have that Wilson amplifier. Guess that’s two pieces of hardware on our wish list — the amp and a bigger inverter.
