AMC-16 has been around since December of 2004.just not at that location

118.7 is going to broadcast in circular polarity mode in FSS (below 12.2 GHz) range. It will be the only North American bird to do that. Exciting times are ahead. We are still trying to ascertain if it will be broadcasting at DBS power or not and how large the new dishes are going to be.

AMC 16 is only temporary at 118.7 until Anik F3 is launched Fall 06

What does Anik F3 have to do with Dish Network???


Apparently quite bit. There even existsan "Anik F3 agreement."

Do a google search but here is one reference http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:htjSbE8NbdMJ:www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2006/db0407/DA-06-757A1.pdf+Anik+F3+Echostar&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2&client=firefox-a

As an addition to above comment, the AMC 16 is transmitting in the FSS band on following setup:

Frequency: 12160MHz
Symbolrate: 26000
Coderate: 1/2
Network ID: 0x1001 (4097 decimal)

Thanks.
