   Thanks for the Info.   
      
   From my limited experience with Microwave Radio where I worked, I hope   
   the Satellite frequency they are using is below 10GC/Sec.   
      
   When the Microwave System that had a parabolic (dish) antenna that was   
   around 40 inches in diameter was replaced with higher frequency gear   
   that had a antenna about 10 inches in diameter, every time it rained   
   the system wouldn't work and someone would have to go to the remote   
   site.   
      
   I learned they quit using a Microwave Radio System and used Fiber Optic   
   cable now.   
      
   Maybe ten years or more ago I visited a Projection Booth and saw the   
   Reel the Film was on wasn't on top of the projector.   
      
   The Reels were bigger, 4 foot in diameter I think, and the whole movie   
   was on that one reel and after it ran through the projector it was   
   wound up on a empty reel the same size.   
      
   The other projector had the Previews for other films that would be   
   coming to the theater soon, and of course the Cartoon.
