I have a question about the live television pictures from the Shuttle chase planes: Isn't some sort of highly directional antenna required to transmit such a signal? This came to mind when I recalled seeing TV news reporters doing on-site live coverage of some story. There was usually a van nearby with a dish on the roof pointing back toward the station. How does the Shuttle chaser transmit the TV signal? Ron Kukuk Bell Labs Naperville, Il.
