Rod,

Thanks for the update, glad to hear things went well at KIMM.

Mihoko didn't contact me so I didn't know she was even looking for
Fuku's number.

Omar,
Everything else went swimmingly at KIMM. We got their tank turret
specimen
running and tuned up. We are reproducing the time history within 5% w/o
STEX. It has one hell of a specimen resonance. It takes 4 notches to get
rid of it and the biggest is a gain of 20. Dr. Kim, though, was able to
tune it himself, I just watched and nudged in the right directions. It
cost
me a late departure, though, cuz I just got to Seoul at 10PM.

By the way, did Mihoko find Fuku's USA phone number. She even left me a
voice mail message at my home looking for the number, so it must be
important.
