Presets for the free SXM preview this weekend:

Well, I was going to try to take out my new folding chair (with the shade top attached) and listen to my EDGE radio in the back yard, but I didn't have the time.
The grass a little high with the no mow May too. It was getting dark, so I settled for playing it while I did a word search puzzle in the dining area. I listened to "Chill" for a little bit. It has been a long time since I listened to that. Listening was a good memory, but I forgot how much you had to finagle the antenna by the window to get good reception. It worked really well when we lived at the condo with the huge gazebo porch, I think I hooked it to the porch roof. The house has been harder. Cool looking radio but the phone app is much more convenient.
I think both services have geo-stationary sats now. Which means unless you have trees blowing in the path once you get a lock you should keep it. It is possible you are snagging repeaters which I have always found more variable.

I'm going to see how long this free preview is going on and try to listen to the radio outside. My goal was to listen to it in my backyard from the window before the end of the long weekend but now I'm changing it to before the free preview ends

I did it. I mowed my back yard (allowed two mows in the month for no mow May), grabbed the folding chair and listened to my EDGE radio in the shade just before the kids got out of school. Not very long, maybe 1/2 hour. I think the free preview goes until June 1st.
