I have a friend who's been published in Analog a few times, as well as in a few books. If you'd like I could get you some pointers...

On that near-UV bit. It *does* mean that you need to take extra precautions against UV damage to your eyes.

For what it's worth, thanks (probably) to my asthma, I can (or at least used to be able to) hear up to 30 kHz. Most folks can't make it past 20.
