It has to be west of 55.0 West for them to put a floater on it. Dont ask me why. That is just what I heard on this site before. Its only at 40.8 W at the moment.

I thought I read in an earlier post that it needs to be around 40W.

Nope. Close-up half-hourly satellite pics focused on the system.

so are these satellites in a fixed position all the time? Too bad these satellites couldn't take photos like the terra/modis images that are taken....some day...

It's a zoomed-in satellite. It updates every half-hour instead of every 6 hours like the current EATL satellite. :grr:
