I want to thank you for your very warm welcome! The GMCnet group is the best
specialty group that I’ve ever seen and the Blacklist can only be matched by
the RVForum Framily. So, now I’m blessed by association with both groups.
At 4am yesterday in QZ a friend, also fighting CHF, felt tightness in his
chest. A retired phlebotomist [vampire,] Russell checked his own blood and
an enzyme marker was up out of range. He started to make read at dawn to
hook up his toad and drive himself back to Surprise. Not! Immediately from
our 43 coaches in Tyson Wash the Framily hopped to it and hooked up, drove
vehicles and got him to the hospital in Phoenix and his rig to his port in
Surprise. His laptop is at his bedside as he rests up.
Now to aiding wifi users: This group of RVers has a 16 year history of
staying connected on the road and we’ve set up a section that will answer
most of your questions with members that include some that work full time
from their rigs as online developers and system administrators. They find
connections with up to four systems for doing so from CN to Belize.

>>We are camped in a situation where there is Wi-Fi available but it is far
enough away that I seldom get it or can only receive for a few minutes at a
time. I went to Comp USA yesterday and asked them about some sort of
antenna or wireless USB adapter to help me. They recommended the Hawking
Hi-Gain network dish adapter, part #HWDN2. There were some pretty
astounding claims made on the box but I've been burned enough that I was
pretty leery. Right about then, another customer who had been overhearing
our conversation piped in. He had experience with the same model and it had
performed well. I ended up spending the $75 and have been very happy. I
was getting one bar at best before, and none much of the time. I now get
four bars most of the time with five occasionally. The unit works as it
advertised that it would. It contains a separate antenna unit and about 6'
of cord so you can place it in a window, or favorable place to pick up your
signal without being blocked. <<
>> The Hawking WiFi adapters have always been good performers. Alfa Network
also make some good devices with high gain omnidirectional antennas.<<
For your protection, I usually Forward e-mails [or emails] by selectively
putting most addresses in the "Blind carbon copy" line, so no person unknown
to you in my Forwarding will see your email address now or in the future
were this to be Forwarded elsewhere by others. If you Forward it, please
erase all contact information before Sending. Thank you!
Adiós. . .

you Jesus ...what a ride!"
