Hi >
It is just that - "broadband", wide-band radio systems, anything that operates on a higher capacity carrier frequency is going to be more sensitive to EMP's, given off by lightening than slower stuff such as 50 beats per lifetime on dial-up.
I use smoke signals if the show packs up.
Not very effective in a bit of a breeze though.
Don't worry about it. Lightning strikes often knock of the power supply control chips anyway
Bye-bye local sub-station for a while.
Bob.

I couldn't tell you why that is, but don't use dial-up during a thunderstorm!!!! I did that once and it blew my modem- I think the cable was stuck with lightning or something- be careful.

it's something to do with the satellite signals they use and the phone mass near by, also some people have stronger phone lines than others
