    Is this a joke?
    The speed of the signal is the speed of light.
    The frequency of the signal is 2.4GHz
    The distance the signal was received at was 110Km

    The wavelength was 299 792 458/2 400 000
    = 124.913524m

    I take it you never did any physics then

    I was actually confused by the "Kms" notation. Never seen that before... Kilometers shouldn't be "Kms", just like meters shouldn't be "ms"...
