Enemy at the Door

[Harmon Seaver]

     Go tell that to the Seattle/Portland/wherever wireless people. Or the
people in rural MN who are putting them up on silos and running a 10 mile

doing parabolics, more like yagi directionals, which could be just another
TV antenna, cut to the harmonic.
      Gee, maybe they'll start raiding home with TV antennas.
