BLAST-Pol went outside yesterday, in an attempt to do focus and beam map tests. They didn’t work, which meant I was really busy all day (and I would have been pretty busy even if they did work). But, there were a few mandatory photography moments that I had to give in to.
I’ve supplemented the somewhat sparse pickings with pictures from people’s flickr. Mostly pictures of me, to feed my vanity.

Joseph sees to an antenna. The SIP is now covered with shiny silver-teflon tape. It’s like the aluminized mylar we use, but slightly more effective and a gajillion times more expensive

The Irish got only the assets that the British couldn’t physically remove. Granted, the British didn’t pursue a scorched earth policy. There again, they had just had their arses kicked so weren’t really in a position to do so.
