[TenTec] satellite modems and ham radio

[W8KEB]

I have the WildBlue Satellite ISP here at the Buzzard Roost.  I also have 
the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router set up on two Dell Computers with 
Windows XP.  I have not had any problems with this system and my three TV's 
or the Dish Network 500 Satellite TV system.  My local TV is Via a 30 foot 
tower and large TV antenna, coax feed.

The WildBlue Satellite Internet has only been up and running about two week, 
but on 40 and 75 meters with 500 watts to a trapped 40/75 meter Inverted Vee 
at 30 on tower about 125 behind the house all is clean.  The wife will let 
me know fast if I get into her Soap's in the afternoons.
