Pete: look at the amc1 which is 103. degrees west. however the conus footprint does not reach the particular are in Coalcoman, Mexico, which is in the state of Michocan. now this puzzles me, for instant if you want to install a motor, and since amc1 does not cover that footprint, then which satellite would you use for your true south, anyone have any ideas?
