Flat Busted: Exalt Microwave Link over 235 kilometers PROVES Flat Earth

First of all, this claim is ENTIRELY based on an unsubstantiated press release (A) (B) put out by a defunct company.

There is NO documentary evidence of this presented and not even any verifiable information about the locations of the towers, their elevations above sea-level, or ANY other information that would allow us to verify any claims made about this.

However, what we CAN find... If you go the archive of the now defunct Exalt web page:

The two towers merely needed to be about 1000m over sea-level and they could easily transmit over that distance.  There are absolutely such locations in that area (claimed to be Beirut to Cyprus, but over the Mediterranean is agreed).


And even though microwaves are FAIRLY line-of-sight that doesn't mean they aren't affected by refraction -- they most certainly are.

microwave refractive index varies strongly with atmospheric humidity

NEAR-SURFACE, ELECTRO-OPTICAL SENSING OVER WATER

The line of sight is bent by atmospheric refraction -- even for microwaves.

But so what?  I agree with their OWN SOURCE that says the towers would need to be very high. The general applicability of this holds true even if the company tried to a set a communications distance record by finding a specific location suited to placing the towers on mountains on both sides.

Even still -- show me the VERIFIABLE location of these towers on both ends or don't claim it's proof -- I don't want unsupportable claims -- I want evidence.

Of course, making such a claim without any evidence is Standard Operation Procedure for Flat Earthers...
