Have any of you had the same experience with CSPAN?
I will call repeatedly . . . busy, busy, busy. Then, after about 10 minutes, I will get a ring . . . ring, ring, ring. Basically, ringing until the phone system will not allow it to ring anymore. So I continue and start all over again.

Busy, busy, busy . . . ring, ring, ring, cuts me off.

I've never gotten through; however, I hear the same people over and over within the same week.

I'm thankful we have CSPAN, so please do not take this wrong. It's the only place we can speak out about how we feel . . . really the only place we have anymore, but I get so frustrated with this and was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem. Also, if you have had this problem, did anyone eventually get through?????

2. I get the same pattern that you do, but I have made it on 5 or 6 times.
I usually go through the pattern you just described and sometime I get on and sometimes I don't. I usually have to hit the redial button on my phone for a solid hour before I get through. It's aggravating, but it worth it if you get through.

3. yup. and i've goten througgh on 2 or 3 occassions as well.
all you neeed to do is keep hitting redial on your phone. some days you'll never get through, some days it will take 30 minutes.

it all depends on how many people want to speak about a given topic i think.

4. I got through to Orin Hatch on CSpan once
He claimed that Clinton's judicial nominees got fair votes "once they got to the floor"...of course, he failed to mention the committee maneuvers used against Clinton's nominees.
