  1. Starlink Coverage Maps . . . Coverage Map 1 Coverage Map 2 (click the ? for explanation)
  2. Starlink Radar - tracks every sat
  3. ALCAN has announced a LEO/MEO Ka-band ground antenna that could possibly be used for Starlink, but . . . It's a big pizza box that costs more than $300. From ALCAN's announcement . . . Cost: $1685 - $2800 (1500 - 2500 euros) Size: 21.6" x 39" x 3.5" (55cm x 99cm x 9cm) Power: ~100W Weight: 44 pounds (20 Kg) Availability: 4th quarter 2021 Antenna: 2D beam steering, +/- 55 degrees (that's a good slice of sky!)
  4. And . . . You can sign up for updates on the Starlink web site
  5. Private Beta Testing has Started
  6. The Hopper 3 / DPH42 switch combo can be problematic. After moving and setting up I often get a "missing" (red X) sat in the Diagnostics screen, though it's typically 110. Try the Nuclear Option.
  7. Great catch -- pretty funny.
  8. That's a new one. Arc-fault maybe, but GFCI?
  9. As I think docj mentioned, the "study" was done by Marko Kolanovic, a JP Morgan quantitative and derivatives strategist. I've been unable to find the actual report, but even if I did, I have two problems with it from the getgo: Marko Kolanovic appears to have no credentials in infectious diseases. Marko Kolanovic appears to have a conflict of interest. Showing no need for further lockdowns would improve JP Morgan's business. Expertise and conflict of interest avoidance are necessary factors in any good research. There are other, more important, factors besides weather, but you're making the classic mistake of confusing correlation with cause and effect. For example, shoe size is correlated with intelligence. In general babies are dumber than adults and in general babies have smaller shoes than adults. However, saying that larger shoes is a cause of increased intelligence is probably not true. No, no, no. That's not how it works. When you make a claim, you have to support it with proof.
  10. Do you have a wiring diagram? Even a rough one?
  11. Well, since you wrote this, there have been about a dozen posts (several of which are yours, ryno) about the long-gone Independent Lady. The remaining posts are a mix of shopping advice and the dangers of getting infected. All of which really run counter to the idea of keeping campgrounds open. To answer your question Am I missing something? Yes, you are -- Independent Lady's posts were more on topic than any of the posts that followed hers.
  12. Previously, when you were telling me how to run a campground, I figured you had never worked in one because of the advice you gave.
  13. Did you ever work at a campground?
  14. As someone currently working at a private campground, when we re-open (2 weeks? a month?), it probably won't be totally "opened". For example, we have to figure out how to "open" our currently closed laundry and restrooms. One person at a time? How do we keep track? How often will we sanitize? Do we fill ALL the campground spots or leave some vacant? So those of you expecting some magic switch to be thrown and life returning to normal are dreaming. Common sense? I don't often hear that phrase and "American" in the same sentence. We've already had people get very belligerent and swear at us over the phone or in person because we have to turn them away. I can picture how bathroom "management" might go. I'm sure all of you reading this are ideal campers, but there are some real coronajerks driving around.
  15. For my solar panel installation, I used four Z brackets for each of my 39" x 65.5" PV panels. The brackets are then attached to my RV roof via aluminum rails (below). My three panels have been up there since 2012.
  16. Ok. From this and other posts you've made, you seem to think that the reaction to Covid-19 was (is) way out of proportion to the disease itself. If this is so, what would you have done (or do) differently? (Given, of course, the benefits of hindsight)
  17. Adventures of the CDC Tactical Team
  18. That's why you better have a Plan B (C, D, etc) data plan for those times.
  19. If you buy a plan in one of these 6 states, is the plan "portable" (ie, usable in any state)? Finally, it would sure help if there was some kind of state-by-state grid that showed what is/is not covered.
  20. When you replied to Dutch's post about how DISH has locals you can get anywhere . . . easily. Plus, with DISH if you want to stick with just one station (similar to like DNS), you can do that by selecting one of the CONUS TV stations. As I recall regularly changing locals on DirecTV is problematic at best.
  21. Visible is hard to beat says someone who has had it for several months. Current speeds: 49.91 Mbps down, 44.78 Mbps up, 74 ms latency. This varies of course but download speeds have consistently averaged above 5 Mbps. OP, check out MIRC for the best info -- also pay for premium subscription.
