Re: EME moonbounce?

Ah...I guess it would need to be a balanced cable, then, eh? I wonder if 
the common shielding on mic cable would prevent the crosstalk.

Qua mentioned resistors (dig that whistlers link, never heard of that!). 
Would resistors in the path actually slow down the signal in an 
appreciable way? What would happen to audio that was passed through 
dozens of resistors? Asking as an electronics numbnut here (which should 
be apparent already...).

May 2011 be tremendously fruitful for you, and may your rhythm intensive 
take over the world!
