Thanks to posters for your kind comments. I had hoped to post an abbreviated version of the report, so I was glad to hear that you understood the bulk of it. We technical people too often forget how to convey any of our thoughts to laypeople.

At the moment, I am extremely busy and don't have the time to write a summary for those who got lost. To those who found it too hard to understand, I apologize for the length and use of technical terminology, but I wanted first to provide something that another technically oriented person could use to duplicate the results. This is the kind of work and report that Aerospace should have provided for BPD, then BPD should have gone to another facility and asked them to provide the same. If the results had matched and suggested conversation, THEN they could have grilled the Ramseys and considered leaking information to the press. I'm somewhat skeptical that BPD has either a report or enhanced recordings, but rather a trip report from Hickman. (Oh, but I guess they now do have a full report and enhanced recordings, don't they!)

I'm going to have to go off-line for a day or two. Perhaps in a few days I'll be "back in business."
