Kevin, Might be good to record this and put on DVD so some like you could get to view.
I know there would copywrite issues, but think nothing would be said if offered for free download. Just make sure you put the advertising in. However, as I do, I fast forward thru these, but still some PR to help. Also might be able to get on internet by going to NBC.com and they might have at a site after the show airs. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: "Gmail - Kevin, Natalia, Stacey & Rochelle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2008/07/18 Fri PM 09:08:53 EDT >To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] NBC Dateline story on Tower Climbers > >Just a shame some of us won't be able to see this interesting doco, not in the >cont USA.
