Rick Andrews — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:38:01 +0000

As you have noticed, we have been having some power issues as of late and our signal can get spotty in some areas. Believe me, I feel your frustration.

We ordered parts to fix the issue and after they arrived and work began we realized that there was even more things that needed repair. We are hoping that, at the latest, we should be back and running at full steam by the end of this month (June 30).
