Echostar 7 119W Spotbeam Maps

[digiblur]

Thanks to Nelson61's map data, I created the maps for the Echostar 7 119W spotbeams and mapped them into TheList.

Working on the E12 61.5W's ones and then I'll post the ones for E14 that will be at 119.

Enjoy!

The North American beam map of the 15 E7 spotbeams.

Nice map. If you compare the E-7 spotbeams to those of E-10, E-12 or Ciel-2, one can see how far the capabilities have progressed in the last 8 - 10 years.

Again, thanks to all involved for all the work you have done to make this the best site of its kind anywhere.

Not really.

E* skimped on the spot beam on E7 and E8 because of Charlie's shortsightedness.
DirecTV spotbeam birds built and launched around the same time as E7 and E8 have more beams than E7 and E8.

E7 was designed with only 2 uplink centers in mind is why.

Question: Is there a rough dish size for the green circle and for the yellow circle ?

Amazingly, some DMAs are partially outside the green circle.

PS If they can be re-done with a little more space around the yellow circle, and without the copyright text, NOAA text, etc. etc. that would be helpful (although I could understand that the latter may not be possible).

These maps are designed with a typical DishNetwork installation in mind. Yellow circle works just fine.

If I zoom out any farther it loses the details of interstates and such which helps people figure out where they are at on the map.

And, 119w is only licensed for 21 transponders

But the 3 or 4 rows of type along the bottom do the same thing.

Perhaps an extra set could be made that zoom out enough to put the type outside of the yellow circle ?
