[PPRAANet] RE: PPARES: BBC radio program on amateur radio during 9/11

[Roller, Rob]

It's an interesting view into the activities on 9/11/01.  I also
downloaded it and listened to it.  I also converted the file to a less
frequent sampling rate, which has reduced the file size by 90%.  If
anyone wants the version I have (it's about 3 or 4 MB), I'll be happy to
forward it to whomever.

It's definitely worth listening to.

And, related to this, the 9/11 commission report is out and available at
most book stores.  It sells for around $10, and has a lot of fascinating
information in it.  For those people that don't understand why there is
a war going on, this document will provide some very interesting insight
into what's been happening for the last 20 or so years.  I think that's
also available for reading/downloading from the web, but I've preferred
it in book form.
