I 'second' your comments, Bryce. It certainly WAS an enjoyable day for me, 
too. Lyle and Kathie's farm was so much more than the pictures, I had 
previously seen, could portray. To see the famous receiving loop, LEK 
transmitting antenna, the receiving gear, etc, etc ........ not to mention 
the non-radio feature like a horse, goats, geese, chickens, bald eagles, 
snowmobiles (yah).

Thanks again Lyle. See you next week! <G>

PS: I arrived back at the motel at 11:00pm and turned on the weather 
channel. Guess what city in the Boston area was at the top of the list for 
snowfall? ......Yup, Andover at 19.5 inches! ... and better yet, the snow 
coverage was well into the NH mountains. There was a message on the phone 
from my wife saying that she had lost power for 2 hours but everything was 
OK. I spoke with her this morning and the snow was to continue till tonight 
with better than 2ft expected. The winds were up to 50mph and the initial 
stages of the storm had sticky wet snow.  Anyone copying WA today??
