110W Final transponder configuration?

[wrate]

Does anyone know what the final configuration for CONUS transponders will be at 110W?

Will every CONUS transponder be transmitted by E*8 or will E*5 do 8 transponders at double mode an E*8 16?

Also, does anyone know which and when will the next CONUS transponders be moved from E*5 to E*8?

TIA

There is a schedule somewhere which says Tp 21 will move tomorrow and spotbeams will light up next week.

Thanks John, I did see that post which listed the schedule for every transponder transfer until today when transponder 21 was moved to E*8. So I am wondering what's happening next. :)
