Ugh!

Michael Scott:  NOoooooooo!! 
 
 
By the way, it looks like all of the sites reporting summary Gap
stats had high numbers of Gap messages today:

Oh my!

The fact that everyone had high numbers means we can not conclusively say you actually need that filter, there is clearly something else going on at a larger scale.  While the timing of that 5G tower going live is _super_ coincidental with your issues, today's numbers for everyone is even **more** coincidental IMO.  

I'm not arguing against getting a better filter if you need to, if it improves your signal it could be worth it.  But I am VERY interested to see tomorrow's numbers...  It's not solar interference season, (ponders) what could have caused this??

Please share with everyone CCed specifics of the 5G filter you
go with including manufacturer, cost, relevant specs, and ordering
lead time.

Seconded, please and thank you!

Best,
