 Hi David, 
  
I think that the underwater hydrophone testing went well. 
The results were not as good as hoped for from a directional standpoint. I 
brought up that if we used some of the same components and made the tube from 
steel or some othe dense material, I think that directionality will be improved. 
This is just a guess. Perhaps the opposite is also true, you could use the 
similar tube and some insulation to soften the reaction of the outside diameter 
of the tube and allow the acrylic front take a higher percentage of the 
feedback. I feel as if one or the other of these approaches are worth testing 
for positive directional results. 
  
Best Regards, 
  
Jim K

  Jim,     It is my understanding that the 
  weather played against us when it came to the underwater passive hydrophone 
  and pinger presentations. Of what you were able to participate in, what are 
  your thoughts and reactions on this 
  presentation?
