ppalitu lemmy.perthchat.orgThe thing I want to know about this is what the efficiencies are like. I mean they only went a foot or so, but how much power? What was the loss, did it meet expectations? Inverse square law is a butch, is that going to cause issues here? What about atmospheric conditions? So many questions, almost no details. :(1Reply
