Dr.Dish:
The ASTRA 1F, launched by a russian PROTON, belongs to the S.E.S., 
Luxembourg and will be positioned at 19° East. On this slot there are 
allready ASTRA 1A-1E. 1A-1D transmitting analouge and 1E and 1F are used for 
digital transmissions of tv- and radio channels. This six ASTRA-satellites 
are receiveable with simple 60cm dishes in Central-Europe.
