SatMex5 - 117

SatMex5 is a satellite located at 117 degrees west longitude and is a primary HughesNet/Direcway satellite.

The footprint map for SatMex5 is shown below. All footprint maps have to be considered as approximate. .74 meter dishes need at least a 46 dBW signal for reception. The map indicates 46 dBW over all of the US, however user experience show that it is very difficult to get adequate signal to pass ACP in Northwest Washington state and in some places along the Canadian border west of the Great Lakes.
