Thanks for noticing SlaLOM. iN FACT THAt is my system running up in Canada protecting the tar sands. We haven't been able to crack into airport avoidance yet - to many turf wars and budget controllers!

If CJ's patent encompasses such applications, I'd like to say thanks for
making travel much less eventful.

BAT also keeps migratory birds away from the poisonous water in tailing
ponds up here that are the size of lakes.

The water is a by-product from the process used to extract oil from the tar
sands projects near Athabasca, Alberta where a good deal of North America's
oil comes from these days. Depending who you listen to, 2 to 6 barrels of
water are used for every barrel of crude extracted - the water has to go
somewhere afterward but they can't just release it back into the river so
it goes into these huge ponds. Not the kind of place you'd want to take a
dip.

They used to use cannons to scare the birds, but this isn't very effective any
more. BAT does a better job keeping them away. As Corvette enthusiasts,
it is in our best interests to prevent the creation of mutant birds that excrete
toxic waste. Thanks for whatever part you play in this, CJ.
We now return to our regularly scheduled posting.

Warren,
How nice of you to notice. I shouldn't be wasting my time doing stuff like this - but darn it - I come to the forum for help - not some yahoo with a holier than thou attitude - with apparently not much to support that attitude, taking me to task because i can't remember the name of a part!

So anyway - anytime you wish my humble input - just let me know - I'd be honored to help out!
You still flying?
