Would anyone know if it's possible to receive Express A3 at 11.0°W or LM1 at 75.0°E from RI (Rhode Island)? (Zip code 02919).

Thanks
 
The satellite IS above the Horizon to you @ 13º elevation, but check the BEAM /footprint!

WEll I'm very new to this stuff so take it easy on me.
What is the BEAM /footprint? Where I can get more info about it. I didn't buy a system yet, just want to make sure I can get these above satellites(Express A3 at 11.0°W or LM1 at 75.0°E) .

Thank you very much!
 
The above link will bring you to some pictures of the satellite BEAM or Footprint!

In short its the area that the satellite is (beaming) transmitting to, if you are within the beam you will get signal, if you are outside you wont!

Here is another footprints to have a look at!
