| | | G10r will end this weekend ! (swapping to new bird)
This weekend g10r will go away forever. The new replacement will be flown into it's space slot and should we hope work. During the change Equity and RTN will drop all feeds for about an hour.If all goes according to plan the new bird will come back online with all the same settings. Please email me at us@rtnville.com with signal reports to let me know if the new sat works better or worse then the old one. Thanks Gary

| | Galaxy 10R is being replace temporarily by Galaxy 17. Galaxy 17 has been at 123 degrees West for about two weeks. It was used previously at 74 degrees West, so it doesn't need much testing at the new location. Galaxy 18 should take over for Galaxy 17 in about two months assuming the launch goes ok tonight.

Thanks for the update, Gary -- the headline was a little nerve-wracking.
Here's hoping for a little stronger signal -- The recent weeks have been a little weak for some reason. Good luck on your end!

Nerve-wracking indeed !!! I could not open the thread fast enough... I think we should all agree that whatever satellite is located at 123W we should still call it G10R.... It just won't be the same without our old friend G10R  |

Getting ready to watch the VNR transmission of the G-18 launch. It was successful, they ended live coverage about 20 minutes ago. Will be looking at the Equity transponders this week, and will report any anomalies. Thanks Gary!

Thanks Garry. Fingers crossed that the signal is as strong or better here up North.
