Hi, John

Thanks very much for your presentation on Qband.  It was very successful.
The receivers were prioritized at the ASAC meeting, with the result that the
four planned first light bands were endorsed (Bands 3(3mm), 6(1.3mm), 7(.85mm), 
and 9 (.45mm). Next came bands 1 (Qband) and 4(2mmlow), with lesser 
support for bands 2, 5, 8 and 10.  Band 5 had least support, and Band 10
was thought to need technical maturation.  But these are given as groupings
not as rankings, so where I typed something within each group does not
carry any significance.  I expect the complete report by 26 March.

Clear skies,
Al
