[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS transducer location

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

It'll work anywhere, but it'll work best where it has a line of sight to
the other party's transducer. On Shackleton I'm mounting it on the CT
hinge, as the top of the CT is the only place guaranteed to have a clear
line of sight to the surface in all directions. The only downside is the
comms won't work until submerged.

Best,

Alec
