Echostar 16 at 61.5W

[TheKrell]

I just haven't had the time lately. And I will admit the drive since I do not have Dish.

Do you mean to say you don't have the drive?

Creating all those jpgs in Google Earth takes quite a bit of time. Plus matching all those TIDs to beams. I will put this on my schedule again for this weekend.

Thanks! But I think Nelson already has all the E16 spotbeams up on the SatMaps page. As I understand this, it only remains to map TIDs to beams and you're done.

Edited to add: I see there are 2D jpgs (not yet done), as well as the 3D Google Earth spotbeam views, which Digi is no doubt talking about.

Digiblur, did Nelson or Scott forward my emails to you?

 

[chrissingh]

Can I get this sat in South America Guyana ?

Where can find the spotbeam for Green Bay Wi ?

 

[dare2be]

Green Bay is on 61.5 Transponder 29, Spotbeam 31

 

[yooper.mi]

Need a map of the spotbeam.

Maybe w/ a very large dish. The Google map show that the Conus for most of Guyana is 27.8 dbw. nelson61 could tell you what size dish you would need but I'm guessing that it would be a 3 meter (10ft) or larger(12 ft). http://satmaps.satelliteguys.us/home/echostar-16-61-5w-conus-plus

For KU, you'd need a 4.5 meter dish to get 32 dBW consistently. So, to get 27.8 dBW, you'd probably need a 16 foot dish at a minimum.

Sounds like a winner to me. I was just guestimating the size it would need that's why I said nelson61 would know what size was need. Thanks for your input. And I would think that you are correct. Who ever wants dish down there better have some serious $$ to get the sats needed for this and the other sats.

That is is quite a delay... 2 more months... they must be waiting on some fiber runs to be completed.

Does this mean HD service for these DMAs, or just a move of the SD we already have?

I thought Binghamton was already moved in the first or second round of moves (IIRC)? Or is it possible that we may finally be getting locals in HD....
