Cell coverage plays a big part in live coverage. I took a few minutes to talk about Cell Coverage and Cell Providers and how it a affects The OCR Report live streams.

For five years I've been struggling with dehydration and finally found that it's due to a lack of sodium.

Hopefully this can help out others who have dealt with the same issues.
