Editorial
========================================

We need your help. We have found evidence that someone is sending SPAM that 
is identified as coming from sgcworld.com. It is not from SGC nor has it 
come through our ISP or mail server. If you receive any SPAM like this, 
please forward a copy to [email protected], preferably as an 
attachment, so we can analyze the routing to see if we can locate the 
culprit.

If you have any feedback on the newsletter, sent it to [email protected]. 
We're always looking for more information about what you're doing with your 
SGC equipment. Pictures and articles are welcome.

Troubleshooting your antenna system is not a complicated task, but it does 
require a little time and effort. When something goes wrong, you need to 
take the time to understand clearly what's happening. Here are some things 
you can do before you call SGC Service to see if you can resolve your 
antenna situation yourself.
