Always carry your brandy in a flask or bota bag inside your jacket so it stays warm! The victim must have been a Swede--no Norwegian would have made that mistake. (just kidding, just kidding!!) As far as the quarter wavelength--that would put you at the nodal point on the wave, right? The only variables to consider would be having consistent-wavelength standing waves, and having a smooth cliff line; otherwise, it sounds like a very workable trick. Shawn -- Shawn W.
