[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 802000, member: 176362"] The UK beam footprints we have seen of Astra 2F are a high power blob over the UK. And nothing else. There no indication of exactly what the beam shaping is going to be like or how sharp the edge drop off is going to be. One of the members has made some guesses to produce a possible map but its all smoke and mirrors until the bird is safely in orbit and the first transponders start going on air. The high power blob is similar to the Astra 1N uk coverage granted, but that doesnt mean the fringe area beam shape is going to be the same, or that the edge power drop off is going to be the similar.
