I have an old friend that has a 96 element array mounted so it tracks the 
moon when its above the horizon, claims he done it on 20 watts. But I've 
forgotten the frequency.  Seems like from the size of the array, I saw it 
once, it must have been well above the 2 meter band.  Was living in 
Fairfield IA at the time.  Last name was Goudy.

I may have to shut down, the lights are blinking, repeatedly.  OTOH, 
there's a 20kw Nat Gas rig in the back yard I've only seen carrying the 
place once too.  IIRC it starts in 15 seconds, but none of the blinks have 
been that long, so far...  That faint knocking sound? Yup ;-) But there's 
no wind to speak of, so no clue whats going on.  UPS's are great, when they 
work.  This one just got a dozen 4 second tests.

Cheers, Gene
