Tri-Cities TN/VA on western arc

[bentjm]

Perhaps a DIRT person can tell me why Tri-Cities TN/VA is on western arc. Take a look at a map - it makes no sense at all. Sight lines and elevations for eastern arc make much more sense.

spotbeam covergae and bandwidth is why

same reason some of the Northern NY locals are on 119 yet they get an Eastern Arc dish (well 2 dishes)
