Default Pool Party Report -- A new record!

BTW, I found that "coin" that Conic Corporation minted to commemorate the
work we did on the real-time video transmitter on the Lunar Rover of Apollo
15. I'll send it to you next week. That was a real interesting job ...
you try and figure out how to keep a microwave dish bolted to a jalopy
bouncing around and over the hills and rills of the Moon and still pointed
within one degree of boresight on a targer a quarter of a million miles
away.


Cool! I'll look forward to it.

So, how did you keep the danged thing aimed so accurately?
