I would double check that 100,000 km number, but even at that distance, observations of Tortola's radar backscatter and dielectric properties could still be useful.
SAR has observed at 35,000 and 50,000 km before, and they looked just fine. I should point out that this would be using just the center beam, and not the other 4 beams. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
