Satellite Radio in Cartagena

There is a rumor going around that you can get XMSR with decent reception on the north coast (Cartagena). Can anybody confirm this ?

XM Radio Satellite Footprint I don't know by experience, but here's a link that shows the XM satellites' footprints. (They use two geostationary satellites.) Someone posted a message on the xmfan message board, asserting to have received XM radio signals in the Bahamas, Acapulco, and western Cuba. And, someone else posted that, due to the different type of orbit (non-geosynchronous), that Sirius radio would more likely have more-southerly reception during some hours of the day. I wouldn't be too optimisitic of XM radio coverage in Ctg.
