Ron, I really think it's time to create a proper test rig that allows repeatable and consistent multihop testing. I discussed the idea with Pete and Bob more than a year ago, and Bob seemed ready to create a hardware set up with SPOTs connected via coax instead of aerials, so that the set of receivers can be accurately controlled. If you had, say, a matrix of 16 SPOTs with controllable pathways you'd be able to conduct some very meaningful experiments. A simpler form of that rig would be very useful for Eric, too, for the continuous test system.
