For those hams that help with emergency communications, an XM satellite 
radio can be a great help whether or not your subscribe to their 
service.  Channel 247 is a free channel and is always on.  If you are 
have local emergencies (weather, natural, or man made) there will be 
useful information repeatedly broadcast over this channel.  For those of 
you that have a car that has an XM satellite radio in it, and you 
haven't gotten the service, check this channel out.  It is quite handy. 
  "We will now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast....".
