[Elecraft] Watch the ions

Aha! I missed the second link. That is not a NASA link. It's a link to a
video produced by the US Public Broadcasting System (that's the pbs in the
URL). 

So I dug into the PBS web site FAQs and found this for viewers outside of
the USA:

"While over-the-air broadcasts can reach beyond U.S. borders into Canada and
Mexico, online video is subject to geo-filtering, which restricts the areas
that can view PBS content. PBS is legally obligated to ensure each program
does not exceed its granted rights, which unfortunately eliminates
international streaming ability for some PBS programs in Canada and
elsewhere. 

"You can find our Internationally Available collection, which is a
compilation of programs that can be viewed outside of the United States, at:

Internationally Available Collection 

"We regret not being able to offer all our content online to our
supporters."

The internationally available collection link goes to www.video.pds.org

I don't know if that will open for you, or if they program is in there. I
suspect that it is not or the other link would have worked. 

I have the same problem with BBS broadcasts here. Some of the on line stuff
is blocked in the US, especially the classical music on line. So I make do
with radio Netherlands and practice my Dutch ;-).

Hi Ron, the link to the SME works fine, it's the second link
(http://video.pbs.org/video/2226474716/) that doesn't.
