I now realize what the orbits of the title are. To use an extremely mundane parallel satellites seems to have a problem similar to one which CB radio had not too long ago. I guess FCC policy keeps as narrow a latitude as the geostationary satellites do... You'd think that after having taken a year's worth of college physics I'd remember that an orbit's plane contains the center of mass which the object's orbiting... argh. Perhaps I can take this as a warning to not have discussions about physics at 5:45am on the way to the airport. (ron) -------
