I totally agree Bill....some stations are just deaf. I attribute it to
their using directional receive systems. Or maybe they forgot to take the
remote receive antenna out of the on after they disconnected the antenna.
I just call them a max of three times, then I go away. Ain't worth the
agrivation.
