you might find this interesting...post 20
Wouldn’t a relay, perhaps to to the chopper equipped with a satellite transmitter be the more likely scenario? A 300 ft aperture is pretty large but video takes bandwidth and I would be surprised if you could close that link at bandwidths that would give decent video quality.
It depends on what the meaning of the word video is.
Barack Jefferson Obama better get his story straight.
They watched it. They didn’t watch it. There was a 25 minute delay. No one knew what was going on. They got regular updates. Panetta drank a Coke. It was a Pepsi.Obama wore night vision googles. Osama had a cracker....
well if u aks me ....bein a part of the crowd there and sittin there in that room there was pretty ‘gutsy’
Hillary was shocked. She wasn't shocked she had allergies. Sitting in that room with her shocking allergies was one of the bravest things Hillary's ever done....
Very good!
You are talking about greater than 80 DB of gain with a 300+ foot
dish at 22,000 miles. No boosters or relays would be required.
Lotsa room on that blank wall.
/evil grin
Neither...It was GORGO!!!!
Any guess at the bandwidth that link would support? And any idea what 80 db equates to in terms of the spot on the ground?
That’s Hugh Grant and Winona Ryder at the back of the room.
I hate bare walls....;]
Now that's a profitable T-shirt and bumper sticker if I ever saw one!!
Too much.
LOL
The bandwidth would be enormous, basically at least everything from say 50mhz to 300ghz. The spot the antenna observes covers the entire disc of the Earth but probably can be tightened by selectively deforming the shape of the dish. The capabilities of a system like this are staggering. This thing probably sucks up and translates to the ground via a smaller dish several terabytes of data an hour. basically I’d think they would record every interesting swath of rf spectrum 24/7.
These birds can transmit rf as well. you could use them to spoof just about any type of ground communications. A cellphone somewhere on the ground, a handheld radio carried by a soldier in Iran...whatever.
LMAO....Now that is gonna leave a mark!
Sounds like you enjoy photoshop? How about taking the one with Obama playing Modern Warfare - and then a split-screen with Osama watching his TV and switch out his remote for a video controller? (And put Modern on his TV)!
