Likewise here. No Internet available in the guest house, where the shack is. All true single op. I sure hope that we never get to the point where we are forced to all be assisted. Different strokes for different folks.

Being a Dinosauer, when I contest from home (unassisted) I

Disconnect all cable TV/internet/phone entries to the house.
Switch off mains to most parts of my house including the livingroom, killing electric power to all possible wall-warts, routers, TV, radio, kitchen appliences, clocks, lighting etc..
This lower the noise on my nearby RX antennas by just over 1 dB.

For 48 hours I am alone in my shack, which is powered separately, enjoying radio.

The pizza-boy always wonders IF someone is at home at all.... (doorbell is on batteries and re-routed to the shack)
