Ah. I know that ARINC has defined a satellite data-link mode (was I
studying ARINC protocols some years back when working out a design for
an aircraft data bus) but never followed up to see if they deployed
it. It certainly makes a lot of sense and even a relatively low data-
rate link could carry telemetry and voice.
Of course, that does not make it part of the long-haul ATC system.

Yes. Art Collins showed Curtis LeMay that SSB was 8x as effective as
the AM sets they had been using. At the direction of LeMay, all SAC
aircraft were then equipped with SSB transceivers built by Collins.
(The HF that transports use on long over-water routes are a direct
result of this experimentation.)
Back in the late '50s and early '60s it was not all that unusual for a
ham to call CQ and get a reply from Curt, KØGRL. After the usual
exchange of signal reports and pleasantries the ham would discover
that he was talking to General LeMay, often flying in a B-52.

True, there is a higher incidence of testicular carcinoma in nose gunners.

Why would that be? Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation. The only
problem is localized heating. Something tells me that they would
notice that.

Brian,
The tissue damage depends on the frequency and, of course intensity, of the non-ionizing radiation. Water's resonant frequency is 2.45 GHz and radiation at or near that frequency will cause the temperature of tissue to rise. If it were 'noticiable' it would cause immediate damage. Other frequencies can cause cellular damage and chromosome damage to the RNA and lead to cancer.
At 95 GHz the radiation causes intense pain due to nerve cells just beneath the skin being excited. The pain can range from annoying to debilitating. The military potential of this has not been overlooked. Sandia labs has been working on it for several years and it is now in the prototype stage. The device is mounted on an armored personnel carrier and the antenna is about 6 feet by 8 feet and folds up from the front of the APC. The military calls it an Active Denial System (ADS). Think what the Stasi could have done with this. That's probably what the US government will do with it.
