Daily Update mails! They have a lot more details and also contain
special reports, announcements and other interesting satellite info.

As an example, the complete TV channel/transponder allocation chart
for Arabsat 2A was presented there some weeks ago!

All contributors get these mails free as a bonus for contributing,
but if you want them anyway, you can now get them for a small fee.
The rates are:
 1 month  -  5 USD
 6 months - 30 USD
12 months - 50 USD

If you want to know more about the Daily Update mails,
please send a mail to: webmaster@satcodx.com
