Yes. The Tarawa uses such a signal in FA after Paladin and Hunter return from Hari. | Yes. The Tarawa uses such a signal in FA after Paladin and Hunter return from Hari. | ||

Sorry. The problem I had was the redundant, duplicated content in multiple pages.

Like we talked on IRC. Let the "Burst Signal" article explain how the network works. These two installations should have unique entries that say "Communications Relay that provided relay for XYZ..." or whatever.

- Skip sighed. That had been one of his pet projects, to get the R and D money needed so that listening posts, capable of grabbing translight burst signals, could be reduced in size. Right now the antenna arrays were the size of a battlewagon and the best units available could probe only a few dozen light-years in.
- Action Stations, 151
- That was in 2634, though. - Bob 06:40, 22 August 2010 (CDT)
Yes. The Tarawa uses such a signal in FA after Paladin and Hunter return from Hari.
In AS, there is talk of direct communications between Earth and McAuliffe.
Also, before combining articles like this please ask first. I'd rather have each of these installations have their own page then have one buried as an image in a gallery for the first page. --Dundradal 07:11, 21 August 2010 (CDT)
