Don't you hate that? People who are evasive or insincere don't do others or their own reputation any justice (although it's a good reference point for insight into their integrity or reputation).
I hope you find something soon and that you're not sitting idle while you're looking! If you have the opportunity to tap into other similar lines of work like telecomm, home theater, computer or networking or infrastructure it might be a little added bonus in your cache of training and knowledge.
