Re: Are wireless transmissions affected by gravity?

As the signal travels from the antenna, it gets weaker, and cannot maintain its forward momentum. Therefore, its velocity decreases and it starts to fall out of the sky.

Use of devices called "skyhooks" are useful...you screw them into the clouds, and the signal "swings" between them like Tarzan on a vine.

So, the short answer to your question is "yes"...gravity affects your signal.

I am having trouble finding any information about what a skyhook is and how it works. My google searches seem to only pull up information about the 1970's band.
