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.
