| 499102 | 2006-11-19 01:49:00 | Since it's geostationary, it's about 35000 km up, well above the clouds from which rain comes. Does it dangle an umbrella on a long string to stop the rain? Or does it use more advanced weather control technology? ;) (Anyway, Sky would probably prefer them to have used some simple technology to point the antennae in the right directions.) |

| 499103 | 2006-11-19 03:39:00 | Thats right they said that this new satellite would reduce rain fade dramatically. Pretty advanced technology, they use colour fast electro-magnetic waves to avoid the problems of the old water based system which washed out a bit in the wet. Also, the higher frequencies are smaller and more manoeverable to thread their way between the drops. :groan: |

That makes 'em scuttle off and rain on somebody else's parade.:thumbs: |
