GEN-5 Speed faster than advertised
*coughs* I am almost center of beam and sitting at 102 at this moment, but most all day have been at 95... Weather conditions all day today, crystal clear sunny skies. As far as the dish passes OVT and works, not much anyone can do to force the installer to peak any higher. But, if you are close to being center of beam on J1, you are probably closer to edge of beam on J2, and vice verse.

I'm right where I put the yellow dot in Western, NY. Not in the center of the beam, but still not a bad placement. My RSS is sitting at 99 right now, but it's overcast. I also don't know where my Gateway is to know what the weather is like. Wherever ROS is. Roswell, NM?
I may be wrong but I think you all up north get lower signal by default just because you're farther away.
Yes, I think there's a Roswell gateway on Gwalk's map. Looks like beautiful weather in Roswell tonight.

On his map there's one in Albuquerque, but not Roswell. There're most likely Gateways for Gen5 that aren't on that map, though.
There are a few Jupiter II only gateways that aren't on that map... I happen to be on one of them, and Gabe happens to be on another one of them it seems.
