      I find that the only things that I can contribute in many cases sound snarky.

      Well, it's not an accident Scott 😉

                  LOL.. the basement.. with a simple telescoping antenna.. now if I use the BIG antenna - EFZ 10/20/40m the 5/8wave 2m antenna.... I should hear some thing different.

                  (corrected)

                    Point #3 seems to be a 'harmonic' of #5,.. same song / station..

                    Correction... #3 and #5 are dups of #1

                              Why would a pager be able to be reached any more than a phone that accepts SMS, are they not the same thing?

                                          Pagers are great old tech

                                          So my question is - why didn't they build receivers for that old tech into modern cell phones? If a AA can last 3-4 weeks, then having that antenna there and software listening for it shouldn't put much strain on the system... perhaps there isn't room? /sigh

                                            Because pagers don't send - that's why it works so good. Two way ones do exist though.
