1. Worldnet Satellite signals: Air times shift often, so you have to check the local listings, however it is broadcast from the satellites on Thursdays at 1430 UTC and 1730 UTC.
When we get calls and e-mail from distant parts of the world, we ask people to tell us what station and what time they were watching. That information may be very different from the Worldnet's broadcast time. Many local stations download the porogram from Worldnet and re-air the programs whenever it is convenient.
These are the satellite broadcast times and transponder positions:
If you are in Central America or the Caribbean Islands (C-Band), you can receive the program from GALAXY 3C (95? W) D/L Freq: 3720 MHz FEC: 3/4 Symbol Rate: 25 MS/s Network ID: 7 D/L Polarization: Horizontal Video Format: NTSC C-Band Transponder 1C
In South America (C-Band), it is carried by the Intelsat 601 (VI F-4) West Hemi Beam, 332.5° East, 3995 MhZ, Transponder 14 (24 hours, NTSC).
In Africa, Europe, and the Middle East (C-Band), it is covered by Intelsat VI F4 --- MCPC D/2=3762MHz, RHC 332.5 deg. East --- FEC 3/4 East Hemi Beam --- SYMBOL RATE 20.6 MPS SCPC D/L=3715 MHz, RHC FEC 1/2 SYMBOL RATE 8.448 MPS (24 hours, PAL) .
In Europe (Ku-Band), aim at the HOTBIRD I (HB1) 13 deg. East 11.442 GHz VERTICAL POLARIZATION FEC 3/4 SYMBOL RATE 5.632 MPS (0900-1430 UTC Monday-Thursday 0830-1430 UTC Friday, PAL).
EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 3 http://www.eutelsat.org/home.html Digital Downlink Center Freq:12.4845 GHZ FEC: 3/4 Symbol Rate: 8.3 MS/s Typical L-band Freq: 1734.5 MHz Local Oscillator (LO) freq: 10.75GHz Polarization: Horizontal Signal Polarization: Vertical Receiver Polarization Setting: H (to send 19 v to LNB for High Ku-Band)
In the Near East and Asia: AsiaSat-2 Satellite Location: 100.5 Degrees East Transponder: 7B Downlink Polarization: Horizontal Assigned Bandwidth: 36 MHz Downlink Center Frequency: 3,880 MHz Downlink Bandwidth: 3,862 MHz - 3,898 MHz Carrier Type: Analog TV Video System: PAL-B Main Video Audio Frequency: 6.6 MHz Other Audio Subcarrier Freqs.: 7.02 MHz 7.20 MHz 7.38 MHz 7.56 MHz 7.74 MHz 7.92 MHz All Audio Frequency BW: 15 kHz Transmitted EIRP: 31 dBw (downlink at beam edge) .
Also in the Near East (C-Band), Intelsat 703, 57 deg. East 4050 MHz., RHC Transponder 35 (24 hrs, PAL).
Worldnet Satellite information.
If you know of any stations airing Small Business School and/or Small Business 2000, please send us e-mail with the station ID and the time slot, and we will post it immediately. Any of you who are out there beyond the boundaries of the USA, we would appreciate your help so we may help others to find us, too! Check here to get more help from the Worldnet. Thanks!
2. Broadcast times and advertisers. Help us insert the local times and stations in your part of the world. We will insert them by time zone and alphabetically (below). As an indication of direction by alphabetical listings, click on the first letter of the principal city in a country; we will also list our USA embassy and consulate locations, Chambers of Commerce, and unversities.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y | Z
Sample: Because this section will require several years to develop and will require constant updating, we thought an example would help. So, given the volume of e-mails from Ghana, we have sought to collect information about Ghana. We will follow the trail of e-mails that we receive by volume. As a result, we will include the Carribbean, Argentina, Peru, Mauritius, New Zealand, Nigeria, Tanzania, Togo, Iran, Pakistan and Uganda. Then we will work on the rest of the world!
Because the signal is carried into virtually every principal city outside of North America, we will slowly add every country that has a local television station that carries the program. We will also add those groups of people in far-a-way places who receive us by satellite.
Wherever you live and wherever you travel, you can find Small Business School and/or Small Business 2000. When you come to the USA, check our USA broadcast schedule.
3. E-mail from viewers around the world will follow here; see our viewers responses today (mostly from the USA).
We receive a constant flow of e-mail from all parts of the world thanking us -- from Iran, Pakistan, all over Africa, UAE, and throughout Central America, South America and the Carribbean.
4. University courses outside the USA using Small Business School for case studies will be listed and hyperlinked whenever possible, much like our list of colleges and university courses in the USA today.
5. Meeting places around the world where the show is watched and discussed. This is new and unique. We heard from the owner of a very upscale pub in New Zealand who gets a group of small business people together every week to watch Small Business School. We are going to show pictures and provide links to each of these places. It should be great fun for everyone; and just think of those networking possibilities!
6. U.S. Embassy to local Chambers of Commerce will also be listed by country within each time zone and alphabetically, including each country's broadcast time and station.
