Today we are proud to announce that we have added a set of files that were first requested on another board on 7-25-07. It has taken a while to get through the Canadian Government legal department but I am happy to announce that the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) (formerly DCIEM) Doppler Training Tapes are now available through the Rubicon Research Repository. RRR ID: 7900

Included in this item are three zip files containing the mp3 Doppler recordings and one pdf with the score sheets for these audio files. The pdf contains a "click through" waiver that will have to be done each time the file is opened.

Fall Fund Raiser!
We are also beginning our fall fund raiser. We would like to request that you please consider a donation to support continued growth of this resource.

For the fall fund raiser, we are offering embroidered hats for $US25.00.

The hats are khaki and dark grey with the RRR logo on the from and url across the back. Please see our "donations" page for payment options. (Please select your color preference with your payment)

I am leaving town for a week and the first batch of hats will be ordered when I return on 11-25-08. If you are planning to give one to your dive buddies for the holidays, please get your order in before the end of the month.

As always, please consider the addition of a link to Rubicon on your own web site.

Thank you for your continued support of our work!

I'd love to make a donation (and get one of these cool hats). I can't seem to find the place to choose the hat and color option...

Thanks Jim! Send a PM with the color. You help is MUCH appreciated!

In other news, we reached our first month with 10,000 visitors (based on unique IP's) today! It is nice to see our hard work being used.
