Lyngsat has a link to the footprint for telstar 12, It's a Global Footprint which I don't really understand very well, some one explain the 3 lines marked 0-5-10 and their relationship with G/T or Eirp.

Telstar 12 info states that Cleveland Ohio is the furthest west in N.America you can receive signal.
 
Going to have to say means elevation to the satellite.....

If you drag the yellow dot around you can see it cuts of right where the 0 is on the footprint.
It also seems to follow the curvature of the earth. The old flashlight beam analogy.
 
Hey that was good , it makes alot of sense especially with the sat tracker from Lyngsat, so just to get Telstar 12 you have to get a line of sight at 15 degrees and an elevation of 4-5 degrees, not very easy, but possible, the EIRP listed on Telstar 12 link doesn't help much, lists EIRP for major cities on east coast and L.America. ................................................Thanks Pete.
