Due to Babushka listening to too much Coast 2 Coast on the radio, she has become infected with the desire to seek out aliens. To this end, she has enlisted Abuelo to set up a gigantic antenna on the side of the house. This will be transmitting our signal into outer space in a project (that's "campaign" in Lilly-speak) that will run along the lines of SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). Upon establishing a connection, Babushka plans to warn the alien lifeforms not to buy burnt crackers. These transmissions will be done without the benefit of taxpayer dollars, although we are hoping that some provision will be made in the next government stimulus package.
All this technical mumbo-jumbo has been hard work. You will see this evidenced in the video below. It features a frustrated Babushka yelling at Abuelo through the floor (and if you listen carefully, you can hear his muffled voice yelling back) as they attempted to thread a cable up from the crawlspace.
