   Thanks for that clarification. In that case, it   
   all falls into place.

   Actually, that point IS at the same point that most   
   guess is the OMB. And the reasoning you present is   
   the most logical description. Go look there, if you   
   get a chance, since you are familiar with what the   
   NDB antennas would typically look like. There's a   
   building there that would be a very obvious place   
   for the OMB.
