In The metric system a 20 litre container</div><div>holds 20kg of water, so easy to work out. It may be a bit more difficult</div><div>removing the water! Just a word of caution that if you are having stability</div><div>issues & tilted significantly, the water containers could move if not tethered</div><div>& exacerbate the problem.</div><div>Alan </div><div> </div><div><br>On 28/11/2018, at 4:39 AM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><font size="2" style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Alan, Well there's you ! get your self an SDR ( software defined radio) and then you could at least hear me !

Can't wait to get the sub back in the water, I'll probably bite the bullet and do a dunk test at the boatyard with the travel hoist. Going to move some weight forward so I can get that nose down a bit more. Also, seriously thinking about rigging a 25hp propane outboard the the rear of the sphere so I can get some decent surface speed. Still need to deal with some of my electronics however. </font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style=""><br></font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="">Also , been talking to New Zealand early in the morning on 40 meters, would really like to talk subs but so far haven't reached any sub mad men yet ;-) </font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style=""><br></font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="">Brian</font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style=""><br></font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="">KK6 IRC <br></font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style=""><br></font></div><div style=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" style=""><br></font></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">_______________________________________________
