Hi All, Just wondering if there is any OTA TV available in the Quartzsite area? Thanks Jerry

We get lots of OTA channels camped in La Posa South from the Phoenix area. You do have to point your antenna towards Phoenix and therefore you will not get any Yuma channels.
How is 4G cell phone coverage by AT&T out there in La Posa South?
Last year from at least the Friday before the show, all the way to somewhere around Tuesday or Wednesday, there was ZERO AT&T coverage; voice or data anywhere in or around Quartzsite. It was long enough that it actually made the paper.
AT&T had every excuse in the book from 'overload' (that doesn't shut an entire system down), they needed parts, system upgrade, and a few more. At the end of the day AT&T was out, not even a carrier, for at least 5 days.
Meanwhile in the tent, Verizon had set up a booth and had people lined up almost out the door for phones and data devices. They made a killing over AT&T's ineptness last year. AT&T lost a LOT of customers last year.
Last year when it worked, AT&T was all 3G at best and often dropping below that. Hopefully whatever they were attempting to do ended up as 4G.
Back to the topic..
TV might be a nice option, 4G cell phone coverage that I am paying for, by a major interstate is not... it's mandatory in this day and age. We used to see the same At&T cr/\p up at Mammoth Lakes during the holiday season. System would get buried by overload, and you couldn't even get calls in or out. Happens every year on 3 day weekends or longer, too.
