I bury a 2TB USB drive below the frost line. It's about 3 feet from the foundation. I use it as a Time Machine target. It's sealed in a tomato can with RTV. I used an existing through-hole (used for some ham radio gear) to connect by mac mini to the drive.

Like saying an intruder braking in did gain access to anything sensitive. its the freaking White House.

It might be this building - we have a hard time receiving it as well. There is a lot of RF around here. also, it might be that we are too close, so one hop from the station to the ionosphere and back skips over us. How's the conference going? Andrew Novick Time and Frequency x3378
