Communication Questions to Ask at a CG
Here’s a list of questions about communications to ask before you arrive at a CG.
Over the Air TV:
How many channels can I receive?
Will I be able to receive the 4 major network channels plus PBS?
Will the received channels be clear with no snow with my batwing antenna?
Cable TV:
Do you have Cable TV?
Will I be able to receive the 4 major network channels plus PBS?
Will the received channels be clear with no snow?
Satellite TV Reception:
Will my rig in the campsite have unobstructed view of the atellites? No trees, buildings or mountains.
If not will I be able to set up a portable dish with 150’ (specify your length) of cable?
Satellite Internet Connection:
Same as above.
WiFi:
Do you have WiFi?
Will I have WiFi at my campsite or do you have WiFi hotspot coverage?
How many bars can I expect on a typical laptop?
Advice: Regardless of the answers always carry an external WiFi antenna.
Does the CG have Verizon (specify your provider) cell phone coverage?
Can I get aircard reception from my campsite?
I’ll update the list based on your response.
