Installing the phone at the HDTS site was a tricky proposition. After meeting with the phone company, they ultimately refused to install a dedicated line. There is the technology to set up a cellular and solar payphone that is completely disconnected from the physical grid. I was interested in having an actual wire connecting people together. The idea of physically connecting people is not a new idea but is dying out with the increasing use of wireless media. Additionally, payphones are quickly becoming obsolete.

I ended up running the phone off Andrea’s house line. It was connected by burying almost 1000’ of phone cord. By the end of the weekend my hands were raw from digging in the sand. Andrea helped a little and she had a tour of school kids visit her the same day and some of them helped me dig. Shortly after the show Andrea told me that mice ate through the line so it wasn’t operational beyond HDTS 5. This is something I was warned about.
