How do you know which spotbeam your locals are on? Does anyone have a map that shows the spotbeam coverage for 61.5 and a list of cities (particuarly Huntsville and Birmingham, AL) that their particular spot beam covers?

Spot Beam and Coverage Maps

You can go to The List! and see what is listed on each satellite. Click on subscription then go to 61.5 sat.
 
From what I can tell Jackson MS, Birmingham AL, Huntsville AL, Moblie AL, Memphis TN, & Nashville TN are all on the same spotbeam at 61.5 spot 19
 
SatelliteGuys.US - Subscription 61.5°W

From "The List" it looks like Birmingham are on Spot 9, Tranpsponder 9
6495 WJSU (40) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 09 8PSK Area 9 beam Available
6496 WIAT (42) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 09 8PSK Area 9 beam Available
6497 WVTM (13) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 09 8PSK Area 9 beam Available
6498 WBRC (6) MPEG4 HD 61.5°W 09 8PSK Area 9 beam Available


For some reason the newly added Huntsville locals aren't showing on "The List" this is from JohnH's uplink report. It looks like Huntsville are on Spot 19, transponder 11

I'm still not understanding where you are getting "spot 19" from?? From this map:

I do not see how memphis, bhm, hsv, and nashville could all be on the same beam??? I'm just really confused here.
