"It is not known if he had a radio in the house, but his son Omar, who lived
with him in Afghanistan until 1999, described his father as constantly
listening to the BBC."

I have looked at some of the photo's to see if he had a radio there and to see
what he might have used.

I imagine him to have been a toter.

He had DBS satellite; usually a World Service stream available on those

He didn't tote that blood dialysis machine (whatever it is called)
around long enough.

Hopefully that was in the sack dropped off from the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70).
