[PSUBS-MAILIST] Personal_Submersibles Digest, Vol 148, Issue 4

Hi Jon, 
Count me in if the airfares are affordable by then.
I was hoping to have made the last one and give a presentation on the Q-Sub
but had an electrical incident Dec 2nd.  Still just sorting it as it was a
major and had to repair replace all 11 motors controllers plus the Engine
controls due to CAN system being spiked.  Was really gutted and took me
three months just to get my head around the rebuild.  Poor design allowed it
to happen and inexperienced Tech.  I was 2 days from putting it in the water
tank for testing.
Cheers,
Hugh

Jon, count me in.

Last week, I was in San Diego helping Justin Helland complete a successful
dunk test for Toto. During our off?time, Justin and I visited several
potential sites that would be involved if a Psub convention were held in San
Diego. We looked at multiple ramp locations, conference rooms for
presentations, and housing options on Vacation Island in Mission Bay.
Everything looked excellent.

Each ramp we evaluated could launch at least five boats at a time, which
means no pressure from other boaters and plenty of room to work safely.
There?s also some great stuff to see in the area, including the Star III
manned submersible, which now sits as a static display in front of the Birch
Aquarium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California.

For those bringing spouses, Balboa Park offers a lot to explore, including
several very good museums.

I will be there and would be glad to make a presentation. Nailing down
completion dates for Psubs is notoriously difficult, but I will make every
effort to bring the R400. Eight months ? the clock is ticking. I need to get
back to my shop.
With any luck, we can get over to the?Scripps Institution for a tour.
Cliff

 Hello folks,

We are looking for your input regarding PC2027 in San Diego, California.?
Mid-January is their slow season and offers relatively reasonable lodging
rates, unlike what we experienced in Islamorada this year.? For planning
purposes, January is pretty much just around the corner so would you please
respond so we can gauge interest.

Will you attend in person?

Will you give a technical or project presentation?

Please respond to this list.? If you are really shy, send me an email at
jon.wallace at yahoo.com

Thanks,
Jon
