[BC] Analog Longevity

[KKTY]

Cellular One, eastern Wyoming... I'm still running the remote on my FM
through a Motorola bag phone. I keep hearing rumbles from other areas/other
systems shutting off the analog, but we're still on here.

I understand them wanting to go all digital, but I sure hate to see analog
go. Those old bag phones really do sound better if I have to use one for a
remote, and the extra power makes me feel a lot safer when I'm traveling
across the wilds o' Wyo in the wintertime on a high school sports trip.

OTOH, it's a lot easier to fit that little Audiovox in my pocket. Don't have
to use the shoulder strap.
