Spot beam question

[MarkA]

We're having some fairly heavy rain, so as always I checked my signal strengths. When spots first went on we had no spot signals here, so I hadn't bothered to look again. But I just happened to notice that now (with signals down about 20pts on average) I get a signal (no lock) of 42 on 1@119. I assume it will lock when the rain is over since it's on the edge. Now my question - what spot is this that's hitting NW Montana?

Rain is over and signal BARELY locked - at 50

Well transponder 1 and 3 are in the NW (washington, oregon) and 9 is UTAH, it would be possible to barely get them all in montana.

Well, I'm way too far north for Utah. I'm shocked I'm getting any signal on any of them to be honest, it just really surprised me.
