Market note: Block of stock offered at 7.85 was whittled away quickly this open.5000 shares traded in the first half hour. Now 1600 being offered at 7.95. Oh how much we would be happy for if Thanksgiving brought us a break out over the resistance level of 8.00. This has been the first slow approach to 8.00 and it has occurred on an increased trade volume. Trading has digested the stock option selling of both KVHI employees and those selling at the historical resistance level. Things are acting exactly as they should for 8.00 becoming the floor rather than the ceiling. When we pop over 8 - we'll then attack the all time high of 10.44. There I expect a handle of at least 9-10 % and maybe 20 %. The perfect "add to" point then would be where price shows 8.00 to be the floor. So come on buyers enjoy KVHI below 8.00 for the last time. I still believe,after a handle KVHI will show us a very quick trip to 20. Then I look forward to a 2 for 1 split as price approaches 40 over the next 12-18 months. Hey everybody needs a dream.ggg Heck after my last wave of buying - its the only thing I can afford to do.<VBG> Bob Let's GO !!!

Bob, I was trying to follow where the 49 came from but couldn't...? Phaseshifting, in both transmitting and receiving systems, is different than what you have described. The simplest description I can think of is to draw an analogy to a regular dish antennae. The amount of signal collected is proportional to dish area, the dish focuses the signal on the reciever (located at the dishes radius). As the dish is moved away from pointing at the satellite a few things happen: 1. The signal reflected off the dish starts to miss the receiver 2. The dish's effective collecting area drops by the cosine of the angle you've tipped it away. and 3. Different portions of the disk are different distance from the satellite. If these different distances are on the order of the transmitted wavelength the signal arrives at different section of the disk with a different phase and rather than constructively interfering at the receiver (to give a strong signal) they destructively interfer (partially canceling each other out). A phased array antennae, by compensating phase across the array, avoids problems 1 and 3. When signal hits the array off normal the array electronically compensates the signal received in each element of the array so that when the signal from every element is added up they are all in phase and as a result give a strong signal. So, a phased array is steered electronically so that, as it or the transmitter is moved, it electronically points at the transmitter and the only impact is a drop in collecting area with the cosine of the angle between the signal and the array normal. A phase array that transmits works the same way, by adding phase shifts to different array elements you change the location on the ground where the signal from all the elements arrives in phase. This steers the beam. Mike
