Another piece of class stupidity? : may years go I was working as an Instr engr in Melbourne on the telemetry and other matters to with a gas plant to go up in far north Pakistan.? This was wild west country where warlords not the? Pakistani army or police force made the law. included was a spread spectrum modem box that communicated from? here to there (I wont' say where for obvious reasons )? Data was gas flow rate , temperature that sort of thing.? Well someone in Pakistan suddenly had an idea that in a Paki/Indian war,? Ashan Farhan's brother/uncle? might lob over some rocket? (indirectly guided by the frequency hopping signal)? and wipe out the gas processing station.!!!? Pakistan does not have a great deal of natural gas so this would be a significant act.
? So we had to write a technical paper why this was next to impossible (did anyone ever read it ??)? and then got permission to put the link in. (Cable / Fibre optic is always? possible but is a much more expensive option if you have to trench for that one cable only).? So If I suddenly go QTE you know that the Paki secret police has got to me.
Quite how we in Melbourne (Aker Kvaerner at the time ) got the yellow jersey to do that job is a bit of a mystery.? There might have been some overseas aid component to it.. hard to say.? TEF
