Mark:
You just gave me a great idea on how to solve a problem with
reception in my area and I recall that I do have one of those booster
packs buried somewhere around here. I have never been able to get my
streaming connection to run for long but this gives me new motivation
when I get some time to experiment with it.
Thanks,
Dale
