I am happy to continue testing during the summer, but to save effort/electricity 
would it be useful to reduce all-night sessions to, say, one night a week? 
Whilst this would obviously reduce the scope for hitting optimum conditions, it 
would concentrate activity so that both sides could assume that someone was 
transmitting/listening.
