Back-up systems can only work if they exist.

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).

Current FAA Management is clueless about technical issues

Actually, it's you who are clueless about tech matters, but don't let me
stop you making an asshole out of yourself!

Not that anything could stop ya.

Microwave only has limited range, so you need to build a network of
repeaters/towers. And both microwave and satellite can be affected by
bad weather (heavy snow, heavy rain).

true however on most areas there are tall structures, hills, or
moutnains where repeaters can be setup.

they said the failure was due to a phone circuit. all you would need to
do would be to microwave to a point up to 30 miles away where you can
then patch into an alternate circuit

the FAA already had a microwave network in place... if you drive by any
of the center facilities, you will see at least one microwave antenna

also most sectors have some military radar coverage. I know in Phoenix
thhere have been a few problems with center radar and the Luke Air force
Bace(KLUF) was able to assist.

The microwave back-up in the FAA was called RCL(Radio
Communication Link)before the FAA canned it. The dip ****s
in FAA management decided to kiss the ass of big business
and go with phone companies. The hell with air safety just
kiss that contractor ass and **** away that tax payer money.

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

What makes microwaves better than cell phones?

The phone lines carry more than voice.

The RadarRange in the control tower can also cook turkeys :-)
