#1 (**permalink**) 02-11-2007, 09:51 PM

I do not see this sat on lyngsat.com
or on Satcodx.com ?

I tried the 119W echo / amc but could not find the NASA and Miami channels. Advice ??

Also any idea if the 157W ? echo 4 sat is there and is there anything on it or others between 148W and 177W for FTA ?

Thanks

haven't seen anything on aniki E1 in a long time it is stilled listed in that slot at some sites but they may not have updated their page in a while.

The Miami channels are in the clear but only for South Florida.

Anik-E1 is currently just north of Australia in an inclined orbit. Not sure if it's active or not. Of course it is still listed in my Drake 1824.

Anik E1:
Thanks I was wondering as mine also shows it and some older software I have since yonkers / day's past.

Miami:
Darn it would have been nice to see some Florida channels or something that shows the ocean once in a while even a few caribean channels on KU band.

Maybe I should go to Caymans for a holiday again

.

Just stumbled onto some pictures a few days ago from the 2004 trip before the huricane nuked it.

Thanks.
