I became aware of that sort of adaptation by reading a notice from the
IEEE Houston Section of an appearance that Cecil`s old professor at
Arizona, Balinas (sp?) was going to make here to clue the locals in on
the latest developments in adaptive antennas. Unfortunately, I didn`t
go. I`ll have to learn elsewhere.

I wrote that Dr. Balanis presented recent developments in adaptive
antennas to the Houston Section of the IEEE. I apologize for misspelling
his name. I found the correct spelling in the index of the 3rd edition
of Kraus` "Antennas".
