- It would have to be "or something", because the microwave haul from
- San Juan => Homestead is non-existant (around 1000 miles, a lot of it
- over water). I know, I used to live just west of SJ (nr Levittown/Bayamon)
- and would kill for just AM radio from the States. The only AM logging I
- ever got from the US was a verrrrrrry weak clear-channel out of Miami.
- (getting back to r.v.s) I would think that there is another sat hop,
- because that's pretty much how we got most of our live TV (what little
- there was in 1978-80) down there.
