Rocket launch locations are clearly publicised and well attended. Orbital trajectories for those launches are known and publicised in advance. The fact that they are known and publicised means that when one is launched in Florida I (along with many many other people) am able to go and photograph it exactly where it was predicted to be 20 minutes later. You conveniently ignored my posts demonstrating what an absolute fabrication your nonsensical posts are.
You think shortwaves have the exact same range as FM waves, then? Is that your argument here?
Ham Radio Equipment

Power Output
Depending on the size (hand-held or desktop), power can be from a few milliwatts to 1,500 watts. Many new hams are graduates from citizens band (CB) radio. Unlike the 5-watt limit on CB, hams can use quite a bit more power (1,500 watts).
Skywave
en.m.wikipedia.org...
As a result of skywave propagation, a signal from a distant AM broadcasting station, a shortwave station, or – during sporadic E propagation conditions (principally during the summer months in both hemispheres) a distant VHF FM or TV station – can sometimes be received as clearly as local stations. Most long-distance shortwave (high frequency) radio communication – between 3 and 30 MHz – is a result of skywave propagation. Since the early 1920s amateur radio operators (or "hams"), limited to lower transmitter power than broadcast stations, have taken advantage of skywave for long-distance (or "DX") communication.

Radio Line of Sight Calculator/VHF/UHF

As an example using "Height in Feet" in the calculator below, and assuming we are using an HT, the antenna is about 5 and 1/2 feet above the ground, then just plug in 5.5 in the "Feet" window, click "Compute" and read the answer in the "Miles" window directly below. You should see 2.9 miles in the answer.
So with an antenna height of 5 1/2 feet above the ground and assuming there are no obstructions and the ground between you and the horizon is perfectly flat, then it is 2.9 miles before the curvature of the Earth starts to take effect on your signal strength at the level of the horizon! It does not account for any higher angle radiation coming from your antenna that may be "seen" by a much taller antenna such as on a tall tower standing beyond the horizon. It acts much like you were aiming a laser beam or spot light toward the horizon rather than a radio wave. The result is like a straight and level line from your antenna to the start of the curvature of the Earth.

AND I ASKED YOU FOR A FLIGHT PATH THAT YOU SAID EXISTED FOR A PLANE AND YOU HAVEN'T REPLIED.
You are incapable of answering anything asked directly of you. Yes You live in a fantasy land, sadly.

Quit trying to move the goal posts troll.
You've been busted wide opn. Get over it. You made lots of wild claims and they are all proven to be false. You've been given links to videos of rockets flying well after those first 3 or 4 minutes, don't pretend you haven't.
After 3 or 4 minutes the rocket is hundreds of miles way, you need specialist cameras and tracking equipment to see it, like the stuff this guy uses:
Oh look, it shows a rocket over 6 minutes into the flight in continuous footage. In another 14 minutes it will be over Europe.
Why is this difficult for you? I saw the rocket from this week 20 minutes after launch. I knew where it was because the information was freely available. You claimed it wasn't.
Oh look, here are more sites telling people where to look to see a rocket launch and its flight path:

Here's some info on launches from Vandenburg

Care to speculate why a rocket might launch from there instead of Cape Canaveral?

VSI works by pressure differently. Not actually distance to ground. If the jet flys a constant 30,000 feet. Stays in the pressure band at 30,000 feet. Why would the VSI registers anything? VSI does not measure pitch of the jet. It measures if the jet leaves a specific pressure in the atmosphere called static pressure, and is calibrated to show it as vertical speed.
In this context...
If you fly over London then Paris, is 30,000 feet above sea level any different over Lindon than Paris? If 30,000 feet is maintained between the two cities, why would there be any vertical speed indication on the VSI? In either model?

Your stuck on VSI VSI VSI and the list that shows your full of crap grows longer and longer.
Isn’t lying a sin in your fish tank flat earth god model? While you deny a whole universe filled with whole other galaxies? Shame you put your god in a fish tank.
