[PVRCNC] [PVRC] Direct TV dish available

[Jim Jordan, K4QPL]

Speaking of which I've got an entire system including dual LNB's, box etc if 
anyone's interested. We went back to cable about 5 years ago and I doubt 
we'll change again. And if we did it would probably not use the same stuff. 
Locals, I can bring to next club meeting if there are any junque collectors.

Jim, K4QPL
