AMC 18 heading west?

[chadg2]

I see on Lyngsat that AMC 18 is now heading West. Anyone know where it's going to be located? AMC 7 or AMC 8 slot?

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

AMC 18 was at 105...replaced by SES 11.
AMC 7 used to be at 137, then was taken out of service about 3 years ago and moved to 135 for a back-up.
AMC 8 is at 139 and is just about retired, if not already.

What you were watching on 139 w? The Alaska mux on horizontal? I believe that has a spot beam in the Northwest. Thats the only video on 139.

Same here in Wisconsin not even a hint of signal at 139W. Is that better?

I used to get a 98% on my Linkbox. Since they went spot beam, I'm down to 70% here.
