Shame spectrum management means we wont have any usable frequencies. and im still bermused to see how microsat will have an accurate enough and strong enough signal to provide jam resistance, whilst hosted on a transmission platform whose orbit is changing by metres per day.
I call b*llsh*t. If the Europeans could have developed a system that is as equally capable for a fraction of the price, why didnt they do that? or is this just a case of us wanting our cake and eating it and are too embarrassed to point out to brexiteers there are very real consequenses of leaving the EU that brexit voters didnt have the intellect to figure out?
