Atmospheric satellites seems reasonably descriptive.
ok. Atmospheric satelites it is. So what "work" has been done as you claim?
Or is this another post of FE point dodging in this thread?
This thread looks like a pretty clear RE win.
You could hang out around Edwards AFB and maybe catch a glimpse of some aircraft NASA is working on and described as 'telecommunications platforms' or maybe they've moved them to Kauai. Then there's a company called Sky Station and one JP Aerospace. Sanswire is in Atlanta. Then there's Angel Technologies. You might want to look around for yourself for more.
So this proves what? Because people are trying to make this technology happen, then the technology must have been around as long as GPS, Satellite TV, and even Satellites?
You claim that what are known as satellites are really either earth based or hovering machines, yet you give no evidence. Your only proof is that people have published writings that say it is possible, or that the technology exists to do such a thing. Yet, you quote the people that are supposedly covering everything up. What is up with that?
Ground based transmitters are possible. I will give you that. No one has denied this to my knowledge. Yet, you somehow make the leap to say that this is proof that our "satellite receivers" get their signals form ground or hovering based transmitters? Everyone knows that there are antennae on the ground and in the air. This does not mean that all or our received transmissions come from these devices.
Get a real theory and return to this thread. I would really like to hear a plausible one.
