My Base Station log (MN 500) is showing attempts to logom
form the WAN every 10 seconds or so all day long...what's
up....who is doing this, can I stop them, how do I stop
the MN500 from broadcasting it's presence?

That's probably an intruder from the outside attempting to gain access to
your Local Area Network, and the base station is doing its job by blocking
it. The IP address furnished by your Internet Service Provider is "public
knowledge" as it were, since anyone can see which IP blocks each ISP "owns"
and serves.

Check out this information about how to read and understand your base
station log:
