[QUOTE="satesco, post: 1045913, member: 297935"] You are right in principle,but basically I'm asking if Algerian operator wants to keep the same package on two nearby satellites?If the package TDA at 22W is addressed to the Algerians in Europe and if the signal on the AlcomSat-1 has large variations day/night on our continent ,as it is now,then yes,we can believe that this package will remain at 22W.But,if there is no a technical problem to AlcomSat-1 and the satellite has no problem of inclination,as we can see this phenomenon in Europe,then the economic logic require the Algerian operator to drop the 22W beam.To which we can add also motivation national,a feeling which feeds the pride of many former colonial countries. And there is one more thing that should be taken into account,the tendency of Arab countries and North Africa to cover their area of interest.This is clearly seen also from the map above.It's a very much MENA footprint that we find on many satellites Arabs or Eutelsat that has coverage on this area. And if Algeria still wants to offer for their countrymen in Europe, they can do what the Arabs have done with the MBC package, two transponders covering two different regions from the same position,26.0E, one for their area-11284 V,27500,3/4, and one for East MENA-11270 V,27500,5/6,that has good coverage in Europe.In my area I have a signal of 12dB on this transponder. But no matter what we think of the TDA package on SES-4 and if everything is ok with the signal in their area,then we can expect this package to stop transmitting from this position,perhaps even later this month.Wait and see.
