Bux, they have so many spare bits, they could use statistical sampling for timing. Send heaps more bits than needed and just form an average timing picture. A sort of Gaussian distribution with the peak being considered as the 'correct' timing. Sure that would use up some of their spectrum, but if they say they have a big surplus, it wouldn't really matter. A bit like CDMA wastes spectrum for soft handoff and stuff, but is so efficient in other respects it is still way ahead of TDMA. This is just guesswork I hasten to add, but how about it? I'm increasingly suspicious of the background microwave radiation at 4 deg Kelvin or whatever it is permeating the universe. It is just 'noise', but somehow I don't trust it. Call me paranoid if you like. The SETI [Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence] projects looking for old time radio signals aren't going to find much other than pulsars and stuff like that. Better cancel SETI until we get this orthogonality stuff figured out a bit better. Maybe statistical timing is something Q! could add to the Time Domain monopoly to actually make it work. Mqurice
