Another Strange One

[Scott Gardner]

Jeff,

Thanks for the feedback. I really have not done much measuring of  
signal strength since a few years ago when we first moved into the  
house. I probably should do some now since many things have been added  
since then. However the motivation is also low now as all is once  
again working well.
