Hi Tim,

       Jon is using one of Larry's amplifiers. It has 12 V rails.

       If Jon does as you suggest and the whole area floods with snow =
melt
water, melts and re freezes a few times, won't it likely damage the
geophones? The climate in Iceland is chilly in winter. I would enclose =
them
in a sealed container under dry sand. It is not difficult to seal cable =
into
plastic water pipe. You can easily buy tank fittings for plastic water =
pipe
to seal to a container.=20

       Can you check this message and see if there is a HTML attachment,
