True. In Norway I specified large dishes for scatter communications with
North Sea platforms but the government sponsored the geosynchronous
satellite program and ignored scatter. In the many tunnels I specified
300-ohm twinlead which works about as well as Andrew`s leaky coax and
costs much less. I think Norway is too rich to care about cost.


That's probably true :-)
