I'm involved in some 20/30 GHz propagation work through ESA's Olympus
Propagation Experiment and NASA's upcoming ACTS so I'm interested
in MO's KaBLE, to say the least.  This has caught me by surprise - in a
pleasant way, of course.  Where can I get some more information on the
trials?  (i.e., experiment objectives, etc.)
 
Thanks.
