XM or Sirius Radio?

Hey, Jay, did you mention that you were one of two 235's? (grinning).
I have my sources, even though I didn't attend...

Actually, there were four 235s entered in the judging. (And apparently some
others that the owners didn't want judged.) The 235 is not a common breed.

Last year the CPA (Cherokee Pilots Association) had 235s and 236s (Dakotas)
combined into a single class for competition, which made it a LOT tougher.
The Dakota that won last year was a late-model aircraft with a $50K glass
panel. (It's actually for sale now -- for something like $170K.)

This year they split the competition into several more classes (For example,
early model Cherokee 180s were in a separate class from Archers this year,
etc.) which made the classes a bit smaller, and the competition a lot more
fair.

As a big fan of music in the cockpit, I learned that I absolutely cannot
listen to talk radio of any type while flying. It is far too distracting
for me to try to concentrate on what is being said while at the same time
listening to ATC.

True, but we Packer fans are a fanatical lot.

It's probably unsafe to fly a light plane anywhere in Wisconsin on game
day...

So I've heard.

Hey, at least you have the option of having your wife fly, then isolating
her communication while you and your children enjoy the game.

Of course if the Packers are all you care about, go with XM radio for the
music and listen to the game by tuning the ADF into the Packer Radio
Network. Just remember not to fly by it while doing so.

Our ADF is loooong gone...

I really miss it...but only for the Packer Radio Network!

For twenty bucks you can get an AM/FM Walkman radio from Walmart. Plumb it
into your music in and you have your football game.
