Expected satellite earth coverage

The following shows the 5-m dish horizon projected onto the earth in red and the true horizon in green. Signal loss or aquisition is expected between these horizons. Earth coverage is shown assuming signal cutoff at the dish horizon, ascending pass in pink, descending pass in green. Actual coverage may be somewhat greater.
