NSS-6 Satellite - Australia coverage beam map.

Beam contours:
Operation in the outer contours will require larger dish size (for reception of the download out-path) and larger dish size and/or larger transmitter power for the return path.

Low elevation operation:
This is a Ku frequency band beam and operation below 10 deg elevation angle (i.e to the right of the 10 deg elevation line) will be subject to fading and noise level increase during rain and scintillation (alternate fading and enhancement) for very long periods of time due to refractive effects in the lower atmosphere.
