[TenTec] Dot Mystery Solved - Documented

[J T Gwin]

Jimmy,

    I have now been through the ear training provided on this Reflector,
but it has not helped me with The Great Dot Mystery.  Perhaps you
can undergo eye training of the same caliber as the ear training which
I received.

    Regretfully, my ear training did not 'take' - the Pegasus and the
Jupiter
both still sound fine to me.
