   I am not sure if that is a NOTAM or not but as a rule, I would be very   
   surprised if they gave an advisory to pilots that was in AGL and not   
   MSL.  Just about everything I am familiar with concerning altitudes for   
   aircraft is given in MSL as that is what the standard barometric   
   altimeter indicates.  Also it would drive the pilot crazy trying to   
   figure out AGL, particularly over uneven ground as it would be   
   constantly changing.
