Addressing the Lights at the Former Listening Station

Last night Pete, Emma and Nayan got all the lights set in their final places and later Nayan and I "addressed" the lights. This process of "addressing" is really important and needs doing before Nayan can begin the programming. We had to work out which light corresponded to each number, 1 to 20, on the software programme. The process of setting up the lights attracts attention, and I think some folk think this is our illumination and they begin to pass judgement before it's actually even started! But last night it was really nice because a young couple who live across the water noticed the lights from their house and drove over to ask what we were doing. They wished us good luck with it. I hope they come back to have a closer look once we're finished!
