Hi Andrew and all,
Doncha love those who try to wriggle out of it by changing the subject?
(;->) Yeah, from dead ends to delays, HARUMPH! Satgate works RELIABLY
which after all was the whole point.
You're 101% correct, you can't just jump in the water and not expect to
drown, satellite operation is almost a science, if nothing else a very
specialized form of Amateur Radio communications. I have seen several
satellite stations in operation and while it LOOKED easy there was a lot
more going on behind the scene. Keps and tracking are but two
considerations, doppler shift is another, there is a whole lot involved
with "bird song".
APATHY??? I got more than a chuckle out of that one! It's not for the
timid, the apathetic don't even stand a chance.
