Subject: Notification of acoustic source operation.
If anyone is interested... 

Is anyone planning to dive this area during January or possibly in
connection with DEMA???

My instincts tell me that the sound will travel a lot farther than the box
identified in the message.

Regards to all (and hold your ears),
Tim
