REFLECTOR:WSI stuff

[ack sheehan]

Wayne,
I am not sure about the WSI system but with my ARNAV
sattelite receiver there is no ground plane
requirement, very similar to a GPS antenna. I actually
do not have it permanantly installed, It is just
sitting in the baggage compartment pointed up and
works fine. I can probably do some checking. The WSI
system was a product of the AGATE program in the early
years through an SBIR, The work was done by a company
here in Hampton, VA called VIGYAN. They sold the
product or system (?) to WSI. I do not know much about
the deal or what WSI has done with it since.
I am in Kentucky with the airplane avoiding Isabel.
