Re: Slowly dropping signal

no.. well satellite drift maybe. But if that were the case, you'd already be hearing the screams of complaint from several hundred thousand other people. But "earth shift"? Not in my lifetime. Those satellites are essentiallyheld in place by earth's gravitational field. If/when we move - they move.

Good point!

It is gratifying to realize too that even after our sun burns itself out in a few billion years, our satellite will still be there and our internet service will continue to function!

Thanks for indulging me.

@DaveL don't be surprised if Washington's answer to Global Warming will be to start a war with North Korea--nuclear winter becomes A Good Thing then, y'know...
