Dr.Dish:
sorry, but this answer took some time, in order to find out something about
the new MOLNIYA. All I know he is using UHF and the c-band. So, maybe one of
our readers can help out.
What we need is: TLE´s, frequencies in use for tv, radio, data and hotline

If I get any response I will pass it on
