The more that I've read over the two canon commo bases, the more questions I have, the descriptions always point out the multitude of systems, which are impressive, but, IMHO why do these stations need anything .more than AM/SSB, FM and satellite up/downlink?

Microwave relay, while possibly more secure, is a line of sight system and requires numerous, precisely aligned towers for any commo beyond line of sight, so why include it?
