The reception for me at Chatfield was perfect with my Carrier Verizon. Sue (my friend who is walking with me in the news segment) has Xfinity cell service and her coverage at Chatfield was also great.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If a person is concerned about coverage, it would be best to research the coverage for your individual situations. The map can be reviewed with an Aira agent or call the disability phone numbers provided by many of the carriers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> In most cases, the more remote the state park, the less coverage. Also another situation to ponder….when we filmed this news segment, it was 98 degrees out, no shade and we were on hot pavement.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Our phones over heated at one point as did the cameras for Channel 7.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We had to put all electronics in the Channel 7 air conditioned van to cool off before we resumed filming.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I am meeting friends at the Marina in a few minutes at Chatfield to sail.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’ll be using Aira to find them. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Cheers!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">From:</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none"> Colorado-Talk <colorado-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Curtis Chong via Colorado-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 27, 2024 2:45 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'NFB of Colorado Discussion List' <colorado-talk@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Curtis Chong <chong.curtis@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Colorado-Talk] Channel 7 News- Aira at State Parks<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I for one would like to know how good the signal was at the state park.
