I don't think you EVER get them in Lowell after dark.

Might be able to get them in Nova Scotia after dark though.....

>>We have no idea whether there's a new negotiated lease or not.

I heard through the grapevine from someone who inquired about the "for sale" 
listing.

He was told that they recently re-negotiated the current transmitter 
lease.....and another site is available and an option.
