Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Wow who would have thought only less than 1% of the Worlds Communications is sent by satellite

all the satellites for TV and stuff here in the United States point towards the horizon

seems like they would put one straight up like at the noon position of the sun

Because here in West Virginia it's a very mountainous Terrain

and a lot of places can't get satellite service

seems that would be the same way in the city because of the buildings

If they would put one straight up then everyone could have satellite television

be warned i am good parrot but Dumber than a box of rocks
