[time-nuts] History Channel "In Search of" Time Travel

[wb6bnq]

Hi Tom,

I think you need to improve your map reading skills.  I do believe you 
meant Oceanside, Ca.  Also, both Oceanside and Mt. Polomar are in San 
Diego County, the furthest county south along the California coast.

Looking for more pictures and a longer story.  Keep up the good work.

If knew you were going to be in my area I would have like to have had a 
lunch meeting.  Well next time possibly.

Good luck,

Bill....WB6BNQ

Our base was a beachfront hotel in Seaside, CA. The elevation difference was about 1.6 km and the clocks were separated for about 24 hr so 15 ns of time dilation is expected.

None of it was scripted or rehearsed so I hope I didn't do or say anything too stupid on camera. I'll have more info by tomorrow and update the web page:
