I have been working toward a goal for many months now, the jury is in and things are official. As of 3/1/12, Janet and I and Internet Anywhere will wind our business down while we fulfill the last few orders we have in the works. As of March 1st, I will be a full time employee of the Winegard company. I will be doing RV dealer training and certification for Winegard as well as working to support Winegard sales through dealers and RV shows throughout the Western US. Janet will also be a part time employee in order to support the sales side when doing this part of our job. We will continue to support our customers during our off time but what RTC does will have a lot to do with what are are able to do long term. Should they choose not to pay the dealers to provide tier 1 support I suspect that I, and likely all of the dealers, will do what we can for as long as we can but being able to provide the level of support that we do today may come into question. Janet and I are very excited at this wonderful opportunity and we look forward to many years of continued travel and an excellent working environment with Winegard. Hopefully, everyone will be excited for us as well and despite the fact that some may see this as a negative for them, please understand that Janet and I would likely not have been able to continue in the business much longer anyway due to the current economic conditions and the issues cropping up at the RV shows that used to provide the majority of our income. I am not going anywhere as far as this forum is concerned but you may be hearing less from me as time goes by (some would call that a blessing). You can't get rid of me that fast, so if you wonder why there is a big W where my Internet Anywhere avatar used to be, you will understand. I love you all and I look forward to my new life and my new job and my new opportunity and I hope you all feel the same way as well. Anyone going to the Good Sam Rally in Phoenix? Stop by the Winegard booth in the Camping World display and say hi to us both!

Thanks Bob and Betsy. We are both pretty happy about spending a lot more time on the ground. We did an install the other day and put 2 antenna on one coach. It only took about 4 hours but when we were done we were tired! I think I am getting too old for this stuff.

Bill, I wish you and Janet all the best as you become a Winegard man again. You have a passion for this stuff that I hope never goes away, but companies change, and along with that, their technology. Thank you for your support over the years to the mobile community. Gary
