- I'm involved in some 20/30 GHz propagation work through ESA's Olympus
- Propagation Experiment and NASA's upcoming ACTS so I'm interested
- in MO's KaBLE, to say the least. This has caught me by surprise - in a
- pleasant way, of course. Where can I get some more information on the
- trials? (i.e., experiment objectives, etc.)
-
- Thanks.
