Martin's just pouring more salt into the wound! Here we (USA) are the so-called richest country in the world and only the privileged few can have access to decent coverage of our sport. Canada has other advantages too. Maybe I should defect.
Back in 2000, my cable system did not carry PAX network, which was providing weeknight coverage of the US Olympic Track Trials. I had attended the last two Olympic Trials in person, but that time it wasn't gonna happen. So I purchased a Radio Shack ultra long distance UHF antenna with an amplifier, put it up on my roof, and pointed it towards Birmingham (100 miles south) so that I could get a grainy picture of the meet. bob
