Which car hire firms supply for family sized cars please?


If your talking of car RENTAL firms, try Enterprise or Avis.
Both can supply full size cars and Avis has sat radio in many.

No, it's rec.radio.SHORTWAVE. It's not rec.radio.fm. It's not
rec.radio.cb. It's not rec.radio.vhf and it's not rec.radio.satellite.

It's rec.radio.SHORTWAVE.

Yes, satellite radio is off topic for a shortwave group, but then
let's keep this in perspective: some of the threads which seem to
attract the most response in this group are off topic. I mean, what
the heck does Winston Churchill's opinion of Muslims have to do with
shortwave? It's certainly further off topic than is satellite radio.
And how about the recent thread on British police? Geez, it's the
boundlessly idiotic threads like these which seem to attract more
response than manure attracts flies. With all the mindless and usually
ill-informed political ranting on this group, a question about
satellite radio doesn't seem too great a transgression. Sure,
there's an alt.radio.satellite group for the satellite radio
enthusiasts, just as there's probably a multitude of
alt.politics.idiots groups for the more pervasive type of off-topic
postings to be found in rec.radio.shortwave.

I think that's an excellent idea.

Yes Steve I agree, but how do we open up a rec.radio.satellite newsgroup?
Lets go for it but I haven't a clue how to do it... but PLEAS can someone do
it or tell us how to.

Many thanks

Mike

Yes, you're right; we won't be able to keep the off topic
posts in general from appearing without becoming a
moderated group. However, the satellite radio issue is
something that can be worked out by creating a home
for it.

If enough people are interested, I'll start reading up
on news.groups about what I need to do to get a
formal RFD together for the creation.
