You do strike the target squarely Yellow, when you write of curiosity postings have not often addressed the phenomenon of waning power and shocky spikes in signal. Mine has been operating continually since "install" with only fairly brief hiatus for serious surgery/deep anesthesia episodes, electroencephalography, and electrocardiography. Aside from those issues I will not let anyone remark to me I should "shut it off." Heck, even if the FCC were to come a knockin about my interference with cable TV, I would have to tell a neighbor they should subscribe to satellite programs.

Prayin with optimism for you Yellow!
Merry Christmas,
