[QUOTE="Bengt, post: 870130, member: 392275"] Hi What I don't understand is the 2G Euro beam. The 2F AND 2E Eurobeams are similar, but the 2G Eurobeam is totally different. It is the only (european) beam on 2E/2F/2G which isn't centered on the UK. Maybe 2E/2F are meant to be permanently placed at 28,2E, whilst 2G will be available to move to provide backup at other locations, should the need arise. Or it may have something to do with the data transponders; I've seen claims that 11464H AND 11479V are on the 1N PE2 beam. The only beam on the new satellites that comes close to that kind of coverage is the 2G Eurobeam. Speculation, speculation... Regards, Bengt [/QUOTE]
