   I think that's not true for Galileo - even with a well-oriented low-gain   
   antenna, they got a data rate around 100 bits per second using the 70m   
   antennas for reception. They were making pointing turns of a few degrees   
   every once in a while. I would think that with, say, the pointing off by   
   10 degrees, the data rate would be essentially zero.
