No, we think your comment was funny!  Just didn't have good email 
access until we got home today.  I was trying to think of a good come-back, 
but the delayed intelligence response will probably hit me tomorrow.  
 She did win the set... a pinger and receiver.  A very generous 
donation by Desert Star Systems.  http://www.desertstar.com/newsite/sport/sportscout.html  Thank 
you for your support Andy!   I think these manufactured products are 
great benchmarks for the homebuilder to compare his product to and to learn 
from.  Takes the urgency out of building your own unless it 
is mostly for the challenge and fun of designing and building 
your own.   My son and I will certainly use it scuba diving before 
we'll have a chance to use it in a "subsetting".   And Ill have 
it at every convention we go to, so people can play with it and compare. 
My wife, Hanna, thought the meetings were interesting... a pleasant and 
somewhat unexpected development!   She'll be on board when I start 
spending money on my project.  She knew all along that I was nuts, and 
now she's gotten to know some other nuts too. 
Overall, we had a great time with everyone at the convention, 
the topics were informative, and it was great to see and visit with Mr. 
Kittredge.   A pleasure to meet you all again.
