[Ham-Mac] RF from XM radio

[Robert C. Smithwick]

Tnx for the additional comments, Lon.

  Perhaps you've noticed like I have that when media feature writers 
run out of ideas to meet a deadline, they often pick this one. They 
know it'll bring some responses - both + and - !!

Sort of like the fuss 'bout  'dangerous' X-ray radiation - like in 
dental X-rays. And  "radiation" from TV screens!!
