-- if true, then might not be moved (except for maintainance)

-- small antennas may have better high frequency performance.
   then maybe an independent subarray some of the time.
	could be several clusters of small antennas
	to provide both short and longer baselines 
	at the highest frequency where the 12m don't work so well.

>3)  handful of rice. 
  Studies for 1HT: with 500 antennas was good with random arrays.

	Can do better with pushing around only 64 grains.


cheers,

	Melvyn.
