A follow up to the previous videos where I touched on how radio transmissions such as for DirecTV are coming from Satellites in orbit contrary to the dimwit nonsensical banter continuously spewed by the Flat Earth Conspiracy theorists!
The Flat Earther’s spewed nonsense that all radio transmissions including Microwave signals for DirecTV customers are just being transmitted locally from the ground.
When I proved that the signals indeed are coming from the sky then they pulled out some more nonsense that it is just natural atmosphere/Ionosphere “skip” that is providing that precisely aimed signal into the homes of millions of DirecTV subscribers.
Well, as a person who was into armature radio and had used “Skip”, I full well that the ability to do such a thing was not reliable at all.
Not too mention it doesn’t work AT ALL on higher frequencies like Satellite TV (18 Ghz) it was useful occasionally for Ham (4Mhz etc) and Cb radio (27 Mhz) it was something that usually only worked at night and the bounce angles would vary!
So in this video I go into more detail about that and go to a few HAM radio sites to show some discussion on the phenomenom of Ionoisphere skip and how it isn’t reliable.
Bottom line. Even if you could get a DirecTV 18Ghz signal to skip off of the Ionosphere (which it doesn’t), it would only skip to that trajectory for a very short time because the Ionosphere is constantly changing due to weather, and the sun.
