General remarks: brand-new satellite commissioned in July 2006. All digital, strong signal on global beam into South Africa, but difficult to find on a "satfinder" as it is masked by Telsat 10. Linear polarisation means the waveguide prode has to be set at 30 degrees to offset spatial depolarisation and detect vertical polarisation.
