Re: [RFI] Recent RFI status - Direct TV and Dish?

["Bill Fikis" <w2ay@atmc.net>]

 Howard,   I  had  alot of  problems with  my  station  getting into  the 
Directv  system.
          All  was resolved  with  toroids .... (  alot of  toroids)
          I ultimately  switched to  cable (  cost alot  less)
            no  toroids  needed  for cable  tv..........

                                    ..............Bill / w2ay
