I'll be blunt

The closer you are to the "northern" border than the southern it sucks rocks. I'm in Minnesota and cane barely get a signal on Satmex5 except for the data transponders. A 6 footer I can get enough signal to keep it stable

If you see the signal map (again take these with a grain of salt) it cuts off DRAMTICALLY the farther north you get



Satmex5 on C-Band versus KU reminds me of AMC1 (103W)
AMC1 C-Band...normal
AMC1 KU Band....oddball skew

Satmex5 C-Band...normal
Satmex5 KU Band...Horrible recption in the northern US states
