[MAMS] More on conditions this morning

I forgot to add that Hepburn did not appear to predict the conditions 
that were observed this morning. Hepburn only calls for "marginal" 
enhancement, the lowest level.

However, when I checked the weather conditions this morning I found the 
local conditions to be temperature equaling dewpoint, which resulted in 
100% humidity.    Bob's conditions showed a dewpoint of two degrees 
lower than ambient temperature and a relative humidity of 93%.  Bob and 
I then concluded that this was the cause of the enhancement.

I don't claim to be any sort of expert on microwave conditions.  One of 
the reasons that I post these comments is that, perhaps someone who does 
know more about it than I do can chime in and I can learn something.

73,
