ML>   The RF4's from Bergstrom AFB in Austin had an OB that was in here
ML>   in  Central Texas up until about eight or ten years ago.
ML>   Originally, it  went just north of my land site for my rural ham
ML>   station that is buried  in trees.  When I started building the
ML>   antenna farm, they noticed it!  How do I know? 
ML> 
ML>        Grin.. 
ML> 
ML>   Suddenly, the OB moved!  They began blowing the shingles off the
ML>   roof  at xty knots doing recon watching the contruction of the
ML>   towers etc. for  'training' purposes!   I assure you one doesn't
ML>   have to have served  in 'Nam to understand what an RF4 sounds like
ML>   at a few hundred feet  above you doing such work..  I'm a computer
ML>   guy who works a lot at  nights; but boy you won't sleep through
ML>   that alarm clock the next morning!  
Yes sir, I've been  *very*   close to such in central Texas and other 
places.  Never lots any shingles, but did lose some fillings from a Buff 
one time?????  (BG)   *:-<)
