Amateur Radio Newsline Report 1502 - May 26th, 2006

[Iain McFadyen]

Yup! 15 seconds of fame :-)  

Only 14 minutes and 45 seconds left!!

A couple of missed quotes in the text (For example the vehicle on show was a
Ford EXCURSION, not a Chevy Suburban, though we have three Suburbans being
converted right now in Chantilly VA). Otherwise, basically a good report of
our interview.
