Re: [amsat-bb] new 5.8ghz cordless phones

["Gary \"Joe\" Mayfield" <gary_mayfield@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Radio Shack has the 2.4 GHz phones for $9.95 after rebate here.  The newer
phones force the S Band phones to get cheaper, and we will have even more of
them to contend with.  Ever wonder why you never hear me on AO-40 anymore?

73,
