Hi and thanks gain with all the help. I have been running into brick walls everywhere I have gone. Either emails have gone unanswered, or messages on machines never responded to. I do know that the cottage was in fact very remote and was situated on one of the smaller islands that cover the Lake of the Woods. It does make some sense that the old fella may have used the unit to communicate with a neighbour or ??? Man I didn't have enough hair to begin with, but I may have to buy some Rogaine before this is all over.
