WiFi at Quartzsite

[Don Bradner]

Ron has a powerful external antenna, so he's as easy to get to as I am, but his
connection speed is a small fraction of what people get on mine.

My SOB friend and neighbor opened up his WiFi this morning to help - he has the
same high-speed internet connection I have, so it is a good alternative. When
you look at available networks, Blue_Thunder(Free) is me, and Blue Bird Rally
(Free) is my neighbor.
