I've made up my own alternative Tooway dish pointing page, see: https://www.satsig.net/tooway/satellite-dish-pointing-ka-sat-tooway-europe.htm

Regarding beam 83 (aimed approximately at northern Iran), I am uncertain of the location of the beam centre, the size and shape of the beam, and its type (1,2,3 or4 and its colour). Is it 2 Orange or 4 Green ? How far south in Iraq is operation possible ?
There are 8 'southern' beams on the KA-SAT satellite. These beams seem unusual in shape and size. Does anyone know the details ? Any beam can be shown with various sizes, corresponding to dish size used on the ground. If you assume larger customer dishes, then the satellite beam can be shown as covering a wider area. I have assumed all 'normal' beams are circular, 0.5 deg diameter, and that 6 of the unusual southern beams are elliptical 0.4 x 0.8 deg. I've drawn beams 77 and 83 as 0.74 deg diameter circular assuming larger customer dishes in these areas. I'm not sure at all ?
Incidentally, does anyone know where the teleport gateways GW7 and GW8 are located? wxw Best regards, Eric.
