The term "fringe reception" is sometimes used to refer to a difficult to get signal but what is "difficult to get".
A few floaters are listed below, before they get flushed down the pan I might make up a small table similar to "The Big Arc Men" and "The Big Dish Men" tables.
Floater 1. Should it be confined to a zone/country? Reception of 43.1W in C-Band aint easy in the UK for a small dish man but it is a breeze for more westerly DX Men with a bin lid.
Floater 2. Does the official satellite footprint beam cover the country/zone, if yes, is it fringe, if no, is it deffo fringe?
Floater 3. Are there grades of fringe recption such as Standard Fringe, Extreme Fringe and Ultra Extreme Fringe. The very top UK DX Man, now retired, used to say he was only interested in "Extreme Fringe"
Floater 4. Is it a waste of time and beyond the fringe?
