Of course this is a subject which interests me greatly. For example I have been trying to help some GLXP teams figure out how to get their real-time images back from the Moon. I worked on communications satellites for many years, and familiar with the basics of links budgets, antenna sizes, frequencies, power levels and so forth. There is a huge surplus C-band teleport in Monterey County if you are interested, needing some refurbishment. I have XM-Sirius radio in my car and I love it. FYI as a kid (in the 1960's) I used to listen to the offshore "pirate" radio ships in international waters around the UK, which broadcast AM rock music which the government BBC refused to carry for many years, check out this site: http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk and read their "history" pages.

Thanks to our ever expanding access to space, we have opened a new and limitless pipeline for global communications (and eventually beyond). It is critical that everyone's ability to utilize this asset for free and unfettered communications - and it would be so easy for those of ill intent to cause it great damage at relatively low cost and with relatively low end technologies.

I am not sure if this is an area of interest for this group, but it should be considered.

The Griffith Corporation's Office of Space Security has formed a think tank for space and orbital broadcasting. We invite you to take an active role in this group and to share your ideas.
