As well as being a writer of many fine sci-fi novels.. Sir Arthur C. Clarke will be remembered by me for predicting the orbit altitude for placing a satellite in geostationary orbit...IE: a satellite turning with the earth while keeping above one given point of the earth at an altitude of 36,000 km. As all satellite tv enthusiasts call it... The Clarke Belt.
Another Comag satellite receiver has been added. This time it's an SL25. This has taken the place of the Echostar DSB-808 on the 90cm Channel Master dish.
This is one of the things that I have to say something about. The
men and women in the Armed forces, be it on land, sea or in the air,
have a job to do just like you and I AND get paid for it. Their job is
a most dangerous job that I am glad that I don't have to do.
Verbally abusing these brave souls is NOT on. They are doing a Job that no one else would do. They get their orders from the Government. If you want to abuse someone shout at the MP's in London. They decide any action to take and the forces have to obey these orders.
I am FOR the armed forces. I beleive they are doing a grand job with what they have and get. To all of the brave men and women... I SALUTE YOU.
