EIRP G/T tables Telstar 12

[jayelem]

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.

I don't see any Global footprint, do you have a link?

Only BEAM that reaches this country would be the Americas

same as your link, can you explain the diagram 0-5-10

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.
