Starting with the gulf war in 1991, the U.S. has fought wars primarily with air power. This was also true in Afghanistan. The AC130 gunship has proven to be an effective weapon for taking out forces on the ground. Download this file, and watch and listen as the AC130 takes on an Alqaida cell on the ground in Afghanistan. If the file plays rather than downloads when you click on the link below, right click on it, and select "save target as." AC130 Gunship Video Download
As you probably know, when Kim Elliott left the Communications World program at the Voice of America,. They did not replace him, and the show was cancelled. However, in the weeks following Kim's departure, they ran a series of specials he produced, on the history of VOA in conjunction with its 60th anniversary. I hope you enjoy them.

Every Thursday night, at about 10:25 ET, we talk technical with Mike Kohl of Global Communications. I've had numerous requests to make the segment with Mike available as a separate download so there you go. It will probably be one to two days after the show before this is updated, so your best bet is probably to look sometime on Saturday. You can visit Mike's website to read about the latest in satellite. Find out about everything from the "canadian solution," and a current listing of MPEG-2 free to air signals to the latest in dish and receiver technology. If you have a question for Mike, or a topic you would like us to discuss on the air, just ask.
Please check back again soon. And as always, feel free to drop me an e-mail any time.
