I have never been in an anechoic chamber. I have fired guns and cherry
bombs out on the lake where there is nothing to echo from. Unfamiliar

Are you nut

Not from calm water back toward the boat. No corners no return. In any

sailboat races and had a 12 gauge starter gun.

I have a funny story about a 12 guage starter gun.

Something to do with holes in a main sail. :)
