some snippage involved

Anyway, with this antenna, the radio is everything I wanted, and more. I
can listen to NPR or music in my office, while the radio is constantly
scanning five pre-set aviation frequencies. Whenever someone transmits on
those freqs, the radio interrupts, and then gradually fades back into the
show after the transmissions cease. It's great!

What you are describing there is 'attack' and 'decay' time. Is the
attack fast enough so you don't miss the first word or a half transmitted
over the air-band? I presume the decay, returning to entertainment band,
starts when the carrier disappears.
Thanks for the PIREP, Jay.
Say, I looked at the photos related to the AOPA article about the Inn.
Using the photo how about giving me progressive taxi instructions to find
you. [Presume I can hop ditches.]

Yes -- it's amazingly quick.

Yeah, our 5-year plan is to add a restaurant, with taxi access. (Right now
you'd need a Sherpa!) We've received preliminary permission for just that,
but -- given my very public anti-city council position, and the chance that
they will be taking direct control of the airport in the near future -- I'd
say my chances of pulling that through a future council are slim...

:-)

Also, there are over 50 restaurants within one mile of the inn. That make
attracting another one difficult, to say the least.

Just do one, using the best angus, with it hung and aged, on the premises,
so you can insure the quality.

Our last true beef restaurant closed, and now, the best is at home. What a
shame.
