I explained the backup issue in a previous response. The FAA
"Had" microwave backup until the unqualified idiots decided
they did not need it and went single threaded with outside
contractors(Telco).


Didn't they have cell phones? Didn't they use them?

What makes microwaves better than cell phones?
