Folks
A related story...
When I was in photo school a lecturer told a story about pro
photographers shooting (IIRC) either a large explosion or a rocket
launch or somthing similar. They had to be a mile or so from the site
but the cameras could be closer. All used the latest fandangled radio
control links to motor drives, except one stuborn old bugger that ran a
cable the whole distance. To cut a long story short, radio interference
rendered the wireless links unusable, and only one person brought home
the bacon...
