Yeah, you should put it on your schedule to check in every 3-4 days or so as it is always updated.

I remember reading something about this technology back in the early 90's. Stereophile or one of the other rags of the time made mention of it because the government wanted to use it to make military aircraft less prone to jamming and background radiation, and the audio industry was excited about its other applications. Glad to see they kept funding its development.
