The annual Topless Driving Parade, this year as in others, will in all likelihood have me being topful, since I'm a very modest man.
[size=8pt]Not actually a satellite feed, quad; ITFS, which is a terrestrial band. Close, RF-wise, but different tech. (Really close, actually. Just right betwen the ISM band where the most popular implementations of 802-11 ["Wi-Fi"] operate and the lower end of the C-band.) ITFS is the band the relay of KFWG to the stations goes out over--KFWP's feed of KFWG programming goes out over a fibre trunk from Clackamas, since the Cascades get in the way of the microwave signal's line of sight (and the dynamic weather in the Cascades would practically make it infeasible.)
There are tentative plans to build out an ITFS relay network on the east side of the mountains, similar to the one over here, to carry FWP's signal out to transmitters in other areas on that side of OR/WA.
