Yes, and a couple of other things- the water acts as an RF ground plane, so different sea states experience this differently; the humidity in the first few inches off the surface is enough to affect signal performance; and mist and spray from splashing affects things more.

The ocean's a big place, and really hard to operate in. I'm looking forward to seeing how low power the terminals end up consuming!

Characterizing the effect of near-surface humidity and wave action on Ka/Ku band satellite transmissions from a surfboard-sized autonomous swimming vessel. I have a little sensor platform, and customers that want it to do a whole lot more. Bandwidth can be hard to come by 6000 miles from the nearest human.

Also, working on how to integrate a small team of hackers into a big team of production oriented engineers. Making the first of something is such a different skill set to making thousands more.

I got here by getting headhunted for a neat-sounding job after a project elsewhere ended, and then assuming more and more duties until my title had to change to match my responsibilities.
