Once that has\nrun its course, then move on to another experiment. That would\nkeep things fresh. I think a report on each experiment would be an\ninteresting series of articles in the AMSAT Journal. I think\ncontinuous experimentation is a good thing!\n\nMac Cody - AE5PH\n\nOn 12/14/2017 08:33 PM, Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) wrote:\n> Hi Mac!\n>\n> You offer a good idea.
