Ever hear the riddle about the guy driving a black car with the headlights off? The streetlights are all off, too. A black dog runs in front of the car, but the driver avoids hitting it. How did he do that?
The answer is that the environment was broad daylight. Of course the lights were off. As a riddle, the story tried to convince you that the darkness was total, but it didn't say that. I have the same feeling from Alan Melia's question - that there is something that I don't know about because it wasn't included in the query. Of course GPS works through windows. At least it has in every airport gate area that I've been in. And it works through the double aircraft windows, though they are plastic. So that can't be the question. Then we have an antenna outside the window that needs a power supply, but it is the indoor antenna that will be active. You wouldn't need a building window to measure the attenuation through glass. You could set that up in the lab. So it isn't just transmission that is the problem. Responders give good counsel about using a south facing window for good satellite reception, but what has that got to do with it? Alan, can you tell me what I'm missing? What are you trying to learn from this experiment?
