Yes,, with the inmarsat 3F4 Sat. ID 35 now at 142W the eastern USA
left in the dark, so to speak!! But don't dispair,,,, there are
now 3 new birds up that are going through their testing mode:
inmarsat 4F2 ID 34 @ 53W I haven't seen any signals from this
one yet!
Anik F1R ID 38 @ 107.5W signals some times!
Galaxy 15 ID 48 was ID 36 for a while @ 133W signals most of
the time!
the new birds give hollow, or gray bars for now!!
I think they are all scheduled to be fully on line by this fall?????
