Dr Nuytten was kind enough to spend the better part of the morning showing me DW's and some mature subs as well. I had a great time listening to fascinating stories and seeing how the big boys do things. </div><div>Thank you Dr Nuytten.</div><div><br></div><div>I plan to haul my barge to Slocan lake
where the water depth is 970 feet in a week or so. I will lower Gamma with a steel cable and retrieve it 1hr later. I would like a back up, some way for a timer to tell Gamma it is time to come home. Any ideas would help, I have never tried putting a backup
together.</div><div>Hank</div><div></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
