Or have it portable and give it to a regular at Coyote like Peter or
Maureen who'd enjoy the publicity. Have them take readings at 2,3,4 &5
PM and cellphone them in.

Even more to the point....we're busy with eye-safety at HP with the IR
wireless program I'm working on..... is that the power LEAVING (exiting
for you tech types) the box has to be safe enough for a kid to walk up
and poke his head in to take a look. VERY TOUGH limits for this....
Ken is right, defocus it a bit and it will be safe for people out in the
bay, but you have to be careful with the power leaving the box.
