Hi Kai,

Do you recall all the goomflah about microwave transmission of power to the
earth's surface from solar-collection satellites a few years ago? The
popular-science media gave it wall-to-wall coverage.

By refusing to allocate frequency bands for it, the ITU stopped it dead in
its tracks before the first pilot trials could even be launched. 

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I've been following this for two years for the RF Exposure Committee. 
Nothing new here except more "media and marketing". There are RF exposure
issues as well as severe EMI issues. The technology is nothing particularly
new, except perhaps to these naive professors.
