I found the list right after buying my 99 Dak Sport
V6. I was using Web TV at the time,which was just
awesome. You could download nothing,watch very
little,and only hear certain Real Audio. But my Web TV
picked up the DML without any snow or multipath
distortion! (I think the DML only put out like 3500
watts at the time,too.) I can't remember when I
enlisted here. Must have been late '99 or early 2000.
And I've been changing people's lives ever since. :)
