How does that thing work? It sounds like the water flows through an absorbe=
nt layer to the bottom, where it drips out. Maybe a bit like a canvas tent,=
which keeps the rain off so long as it isn't allowed to pool anywhere.=0D

Would its acoustic transparency decrease when it's wet? And if so, how long=
would it take to dry out enough to be acoustically transparent again? Perh=
aps in that case one should just be thankful the equipment survived.=0D
