I don’t speak or write Spanish, so I’m unable to read what you have replied to me. The only reason that what I’m writing appears in Spanish to you is that I clicked the check mark before replying to you. Please do the same when replying to me.

Unfortunately, your plea will be ineffective. So what I have done to combat this problem is to periodically utilize third-party applications to determine exactly what starter packs I’m in. And then I block the owners of those packs (in my case, all but the photography packs).

I posted this a couple of months ago. On St. Croix (US Virgin Islands). Apparently, there are only 10 of these types of antennas on US soil. We’ve seen two now. Where is yours? 😀
