[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 963805, member: 369937"] It may be better to look at several satellites with foot prints for your location at this site, [code]http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=28187[/code] this is one for Eutelsat 7A, it has several spot beams, in the pink and orange area at the top of the map. (Pink = C band, Orange = Ku band) The default one is for your location and is a kU band beam. You can go through the list and find one with FTA channels, like this for Eutelsat 7A [code]http://www.satbeams.com/channels?norad=28187[/code] then see if it is in the beam for your area, the channels have a listing that shows the transponder and beam location, look at this example. [IMG]http://www.satbeams.com/images/empty.png[/IMG][URL='http://www.satbeams.com/satellites?norad=28187'][ATTACH=full]91291[/ATTACH] [/URL] What I have circled is the beam for that channel. However there will be limitations on some beams as they do not cover out to sea that good, you would need a satellite with a global beam, that type of beam covers the whole hemisphere that you would be in.
