Rammy's Ramblings

We lost the 30 set also so I'm not sure what's going on there.

 

[Rammy]

Thats odd too. My neighbor and my parents are getting it. Hmmmm.

We have an antenna on top of a 40' CB antenna tower and there are times that the atmosphere causes signal problems, or the wind seems to bend the signal wave and we lose channels too.....something that will help ya is to go online and see what direction the relay stations are located in and how far away they are....the closest ones here are about 50 miles away, but there are lots of trees and structures between them and the antenna....we have to aim to the east of Memphis to get the relay signals.....

I watch this most of the time:

One of the gardening magazines I get that I order seed from has deer fencing and deterents so might try that first. They also eat my apples of the trees, too.

Is that the netting type? It would be a less expensive alternative to try around the garden & trees They're pretty thick around here but most stay at the back of my farm, near the woods and edges of the crop fields. I put out a couple young, but bearing age, trees this year. I intend to use heavy wire at bottom and extend top with the woven netting -- in case. Right now they are enjoying the 40 is trees of my back neighbor. They are planted by woods & crops....hope they continue there. More for them! Leave poor me alone. They are up top of farm in a fenced chicken pasture...1/2 acre ish. Other animal pastures used on both sides & deer mostly don't use this area. I can hope.

 

[Rammy]

Yeah, was looking into getting that. Never had a deer problem until now. I think there are other tbings they sell that is suppose to deter deer. Will have to see what works.

I have the antenna pointed in the right direction. Just not sure why its not coming in all of a sudden. It was trying this morning so Im hoping it will come back and like you said, is just an atmospheric problem. I will be real upsst if it never comes back.

I did think of something else that could be an issue....if ya are using an analog TV with the converter box to change the digital signal to analog, the reception will not be as strong or as clear as when ya are using a digital TV.....we had this problem and when we changed TVs, we ended up getting a whole bunch of channels that we had not had before....

 

[Rammy]

All the tvs are fairly new. Got rid of the converter box years ago. Have had no problem getting this channel until just a few weeks ago. Now it wont come in at all.

Just got a call from my Mom. She has been having stomach problems and pains in her sides among a few things. She had some tests done and got the results. Its her pancreas. They found a mass on it. They dont know if its cancerous, but most of the time they are. They are scheduling an MRI to determine that. This isnt good.
