Hi all, In regards to the KS36k seismo in my view, I think we'll all end up in somewhat of a better shape if we can understand that overall the units are far too complex for any one individual to successfully "salvage", setup and maintain.....and to add to that, its more than likely just from their age factor, they are highly likely of NOT being totally fully operational (only, in themselves) to begin with. I'd also logically sure that USGS in Albuquerque will have a variety of individuals OTHER than PSN there for their own interests. One has be there just to obtain "something", to begin with. Its still a first come, first served basis as far as I know.....just to get the items. They could be overwhelmed on the first day or even the first hour. So....in a sense, its possibly better to have a number of PSN type people there, rather than just one or two. Personally, I like alot of the ideas put forth earlier by others...but...if they are not there at the time, their maybe nothing to acquire. I plan to be there, but I also am willing to relinquish any or all parts I'am lucky enough to get, to those individuals who I know have a much better chance of successful reclaimation, while there, or by later shipment. Its also likely that the time of overall involvement by any "volunteer" can eventually take years to do, and the chances of success will not be exactly extremely high. BTW, I'am expecting the New Mexico scenery this time of year to be quite spectacular...that....is going to be the biggest payoff to me, and the only likely "sure thing".
