Please forward to ODV.

Amen, Chris, and thanks. I am sure in this for the long haul. Now comes the hard part -- analyzing the reply comments and planning the next steps. I note that some of the key players did not file. Ameren did, and their stuff looks a bit dangerous, although I have to analyze it to see whether it is real, or just better than average smoke and mirrors. They may have made a tactical error and told the FCC that I made a mistake in one our our papers. With all those pages done in such a hurry, it is possible, but I will have to double check. My freind Carl Stevenson pointed out a typo-type error in our reply comment Exhibit C; I cut and pasted a caption without changing the noise level. I did see a number of holes in the industry filings, including Ameren's, and will do what I did with the comments and get Chris a somewhat prosy but useful technical analaysis.

I think we are going to have to keep hammering the industry and commission with information. Ditto on the strategic allies. As I was working feverishly on reply comments stuff, I was given a few pointers and lead, and can pick up some more from filings. One is Aeronautical Radio, Inc., who had to *abandon* a west coast site due to interference from Phonex wireless modem jacks. They have a facility in NY and I bet they would be very interested in going with me to Briarcliff Manor.

Dan Wolfgang and I made some changes to the video this AM, so if any of you are showing it around, grab new copies. Next week, I can make VHS copies, so if any of you need a CD copy or VHS tape for show and tell, email me and I will make sure you get one.

I also have raw footage of severe interference to SW BC, aeronautical and NTIA spectrum, which will be made into videos on each topic, for spreading around.
