Received this tonight. Don't know if there is anything good here or not as I am on dial up. I will check it tomorrow when on a faster putter.

Hey, Reg.

The web cam is now showing flames that look as if they're right below  
the hillside leading to the antennae.  The antennae are about half a  
mile away from the observatory, at the same elevation.  I'll be  
watching the camera for a little while longer and will keep you updated.
