[Swprograms] Re: Considering satellite radio

["larry fields,n6hpx/du1 manila" <n6hpx_du3@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Well I guess that left my question towards the
satellite radio out. Living overseas in the
philippines and working for the government. I thought
of putting one in my home in the Philippines. But
thats out.

  good luck on the radio as I have nevr used it.
