Hi Gerry and D.C.,

I have high precision HV power supplies (0.1% at 10,000VDC! and then 50 kV 
to 1%), and 10,000 inch calipers, GPS, topo maps....

My house is listed at 5010 feet and Gerry's is at 5062 feet.  12 Channel 
GPS reports 5031 feet for my place at 40 34' 42.7"N  105 05' 18.4"W.  I 
trust GPS more than the "old" topo maps...

So we really can test all that stuff far beyond practicality ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry
