	While I hesitate to discuss this in public, FWIW I noticed that
my HP/Symmetricom 58540A GPS disciplined frequency and time standard
had its red alarm LED lit during the height of at least one evening
session of the DNC in Boston - rebooting it did not make it recover
that evening, but after the DNC was over it has been fine (LED green).
That alarm would normally indicate loss of an adaquate lock for accurate
time and frequency...

	Might mean nothing at all, but I do live only about 10 miles
from the Fleet center... and there was a CAP in progress and lots
of other flying hardware buzzing around.
