Valueman, I agree. We should expect a positive press release any day. If not, well, my truck might end up getting backed up over a cliff..... Any way, on a peripheral issue, I did "the math" for the satellite coverage. It wasn't as easy as I would have initially thought. Here's the result: Latitude (North or South) P_1sat P_2sat P_3sat P_4sat 0 deg 100 % 80 % 20 % < 2 % 10 deg 100 % 95 % 20 % < 2 % 20 deg 100 % 100 % 40 % 5 % 30 deg 100 % 100 % 80 % 30 % 40 deg 100 % 100 % 85 % 35 % 50 deg 100 % 100 % 75 % 15 % 60 deg 100 % 80 % 45 % < 2 % 70 deg ~99 % 35 % < 2 % 0 % 80 deg < 2 % 0 % 0 % 0 % I've rounded everything off to the nearest 5%. To read this, you would read the latitude of your location. For example, lets say you are 10 deg North (or South of the equator). You have a 100% chance that there would be 1 satellite over your head at any time (because P_1sat is 100%), and a 95% chance that there would be two satellites over, a 20% chance of 3 satellites, and so forth.
