The 4-axle crane arrives on 10 Nov, when we will erect the secondary 
tower and top electrode.  Tuning and power ramp-up will take about
10 days, barring accidents.  From 20 Nov until 5 Dec, we plan to
run it at full power every night and perform a few novel experiments.
On 5 Dec or so we will then begin the disassembly and crating of the 
components, and try to ship before Christmas.

To get to the Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard, Bldg 302:

Take Evans St. towards the bay from 3rd St.  After passing the power 
plant, the street will curve around and eventually dead end into the 
front guard gate for the base.  Depending on how the guard is feeling, 
you can either drive through, or you may have to fill out a form.
Rental cars are more likely to be waved through.  In any case, all 
vehicles coming on to the base need to have current reg and insurance.  
No drugs or alcohol (MP's, federal police, SFPD and wandering streamers 
present on base).

Once inside, follow the Golden Gate Railway Museum signs until you
see the coil, in front of Bldg 302.

See you there!
