Hi,
As I said, (and told the City folks), not scientific, had we had more
time I would have been able to do a proper test, but the lights are
already up and running... I will do a few more drive by events as time
allows, and bring higher and higher frequency gear.
We came into this late. This was just a sweep to be sure something was
not horribly wrong, not a definitive test, and it was presented as such
to the city.
