Re: [amsat-bb] Russian Thing

Joe asked:

Now for a surface to be reflective, how big does it need to be in terms of wvelength?

For MW dishes, the general rule of thumb is 10 wavelengths. Are you thinking about bouncing RF off of it? I would think the flat sides with it tumbling would make it very hit and miss. Interesting thought however.
