Looking at the graph, it reminds me more of a pool break shot than anything else...

That's the beauty of graphical presentation - sometimes meaningless data could intrigue and inspire ppl .

I wonder if Dish is considering trying to use some spots on E8. Yes I realise they are out of the designed location, but if they could pick up lets say 10 new cities it would be worth it for them. I have not seen any posts about weak signal from E8, but I guess they are not pushing a lot of TPs with it yet.
I just dont get why he is wanting to burn up a lot of the fuel on the oldest satellite that they have. Why not just let it sit there until it diesthen place another one there? Perhaps they already have plans on taking satellites that they currently have in use to be replaced by the new ones launching.
Really, it takes the same amount of fuel to move 2 degrees as it does to move 100 degrees. It just takes more time.
Echostar 1 77W Permit Application
Link for the Echostar 1 at 77W permit application.
very interesting footprint.
I'm going to work it up in google earth and overlay it with E8 and see what we have.

This gets me down to two satellites missing the official digital FCC footprint files. Coming to the end!!

Rainbow and E7. Got them in paper format but not digital but I'm working, working, working on it.
The footprint looks very poor. It looks like only those in the Gulf States are going to be able to use this satellite. I wonder why they are bothering to try to move E1 over. I guess it could fill in a few markets in TX, LA, AL, MS, FL GA or SC.
Exactly they will have 32 transponders available and will be filling in the locals along the southern part of the country. It's a conus beam but they can't move it north because it would interfere with the Canadian beams.
It would make a lot of sense if Quetzat's new satellite was like Ceil-2 with Mexico beams and spots for the US. But, I have not heard of any spots on it.
That is probably exactly what they have planned. It eliminates the Canadian interference problem.
E1/E8 77W Footprints
Got the E1 77W footprint ( planned) converted ( US Beam).
It can be compared to E8
And, I overlayed the E1 and E8 49 dBw contours to provide an idea of the US service area from 77W using a standard dish.
The two together provide suprisingly good Conus coverage from 77W. Not bad for the second string.

nelson61, excellent work once again. Looks as though only the extreme NNE and NNW may be missing a bit.
Another little tidbit.
Expected arrival at 77W is May 22 so one can expect more locals from 77W in June.
