<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This is where you have to find a spoken language a bit
like "Inuit", except instead of having 43 different words for snow, you need the
same for rain/airbourne moisture, because of the reflective properties of
rain/water - the rain in "big lumps" isn't a problem, but you should try it in
dense fog/mist, and even better, snow - now that really tests software error
correction abilities!</FONT></DIV>

phenomena when the picture "pixelates"!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Still, I say you had it easy. You should try maintaining a
good signal when the stable platform mounting of the downlink antenna has gone
"breasts vertical" and you have to track the satellite by hand for 8 hours in a
mission critical environment (a warzone i.e. Yugoslavia!)</FONT></DIV>
