Re:Sirius is on "Molniya" orbit - much better one. (Score 1)

You can get Sirius up in Anchorage, Alaska(most of the time) It does have certain times of day the birds dont seem to hit Alaska, but when it does..whew it comes in great!! As for XM, it barely comes in, and it has to be under the perfect conditons, and you cannot be moving in your vehicle- signal cant hold. Seems it is at about 20 degree angle in sky compared to 60 plus for Sirius. Repeaters would solve the problem for both XM and Sirius up here. Maybe someday...
