[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 853363, member: 323322"] Welcome to the Forum Well I'm sorry to say that you really will have to wait: Not just for 2E (Rescheduled launch on 15 or 17 Sep depending upon the accuracy of "Sources") but also for 2G. Albeit 2E should be the key. Nobody knows sufficient about what will happen on the fringes to be able to responsibly advise anyone about the likelihood of a certain size Dish being sufficient. You can't really go by 1N as it is not at it's originally intended location and is being used at 28E as a stop-gap and you probably can't go by 2F as not only is it lightly loaded but it's orientation and power output may have been adjusted for whatever reasons SES and their clients have agreed - so although 2E (and 2G) may be similar Birds by design, the operational parameters and orientation may well mean that the Fringe coverage is not identical to 2F. So although you specifically didn't want anyone to say "wait until 2E goes up", I'm afraid it's actually the only responsible response. Edit: While I was composing my Thesis, a far more succinct answer has already been Posted! [/QUOTE]
