Don't forget the east coast "National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ)"... I
have a star party (https://www.ahsp.org/, on my list of things to do)
and I checked on the use of HF radio in the zone. Unless I was looking
at the wrong place, you can use radio in the zone unless you are at the
telescopes or UHF/microwave. I only found a reference to a "permit" for
fixed ham station like repeaters. Can you say East Coast Dead Zone...
is there going to be a DZSOTA ??

I have a Dead Zone inside my house.
I live in a stucco clad house with the stucco laid on wire mesh - it

Thanks to the "tin-hat brigade, we have an even worse situation here
in the Santa Cruz Mountains -- no cell coverage at all. For years,
this kept me from a smart phone, but I now know this was a very bad
decision. Many reasons why, but mainly that they work for internet
access on WiFi, they function as a pretty nice "ad hoc" camera, while
on the road (and waiting in a doctor's office) I have access to news
outlets of my choice via my cell data plan or the office's guest WiFi.
We buy our cell service from Page Plus Cellular, a third party company
reselling Verizon service at monthly Pay As You Go rates for the
amount of data that we need. For us, 2GB/month is more than we're
likely to need except when traveling, at a cost of about
$30/phone/month. Accounts are flexible, so it's no big thing to buy
more data in months we might be traveling. The Motorola phones we
bought about three years ago cost us about $350 each.
