"Globalstar satellites are also fewer in number so propagation distances are increased by more than the altitude effect. 1414 km versus 850 or so. The average distance will be about 2000 km for Globalstar and only 1000 or so for Iridium [maybe you allowed for all that though you did say twice as high, which Globalstar isn't]." Maurice, the altitudes given by previously posted View from Satellite Link (http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/satellite.html) shows 1400 KM for G* and 778KM for I*. Fairly close to 'twice', don't you think? Reagan
