The story is no longer visible via that URL... it's just a link to whatever is currently the 2nd story from the top of the page.

That story had a BUNCH of outdated info. It had E*4 at 119 when it has just arrived at 157 in particular. I don't know what was up with that!

See ya

Sorry bout that.

here is the excerpt that caught my eye

"According to a FCC report, EchoStar wants to operate its EchoStar 6 satellite at the 110 degrees W.L. orbital location on a permanent basis in order to provide redundancy for its EchoStar 8 satellite - this will allow for extra satellite support at that location due to an EchoStar 8 thruster anomaly. "

I was wondering what the anomaly on E* 8 was.
