//\file myCommsModel.h
//\brief An implementation of DtCommModel that models a simple radio model,
//\using signal interaction as the network transport type.
//\Will check the range between the sender and receiver. If the power of the sender's 
//\radio is too weak for the range then the receiver will not get the message.
