TANSTAAFL? I had to look that one up! "There ain't no such thing as a
free lunch."

Anyway, if you can't find an AM or shortwave radio that works without a
subscription to XM, there's something very, very wrong. I have lots of
radios, and while they do require batteries or AC power, not one--and I
mean not a single one--requires a subscription to XM.

Sirius has much of the same programming that is disappering from your
shortwave radio. In rich, noise-free hifi sound. 24 hours a day.

Here's the thing, though....I have a lot of radios, too, and it's very rare that
ANY of them are worth turning on, considering when I listen, a problem which is
even more pronounced when I travel. So, to have the choices I want, and in a
way no different than the magazines, newspapers, satellite TV and other services
I pay for, satellite radio is the means I use to (legally!) acquire the
programming I will listen to. And, as TANSTAAFL suggests, your "free" radio
isn't really "free", either.

No, quite a few people consider those to be "majik". Right along with cee-ment
ponds and cipherin'.

"radios" that require a monthly subscription just to listen to them are
intended for canaDUHians.Evidently it is True because y'all canaDUHians
sure do SUCK UP to them.

This event actually has a lot of significance.

They are starting to give the radios away. I was expecting that to happen.

I think you will see a variety of deals now that include free satellite radios.
Soon nobody will be paying for them.

And there will be all sorts of discount subscription deals too.

It is a gradual move to mass distribution.

Given different circumstances, surely he'd be offended instead of merely

I don't think they'd be flattered to hear you referring to them as "cheap

The fact that he has to pay for it at all, regardless of the price, is quite
