I remember that.  But it seems to me that it was a day or two before 
Thanksgiving, and the 27th seems a bit late for that.  I'll try to 
remember to check the date when I get into the office, where I have some 
calendar charts.  

It also seems to me that the start was delayed more than a week.  I seem 
to recall that it was a matter of weather preventing anyone from going up 
to the top of the tower to connect the antenna.
