I idid some checking on www.satellite-calculations.com and was surprised at
what I found.
SAT LOCATION INCLINATION
3-F1 64E 1.67 deg
3-F2 15W 0.21 deg
3-F3 178E 1.07 deg
3-F4 54W 3.6 deg
3-F5 24E 0.39 deg
4-F1 143E 2.67 deg
4-F2 24E 2.34 deg
4-F3 98W 3.01 deg
2-F2 142W 9.33 deg
I didn't expect some of the older 3rd generation satellites to have lower
inclinations
than the newer 4th generations sats considering that the newer sats use
scanning spot beam
technology. It might have something to do with customer lease requirements
since INMARSAT
will lease excess capacity users, but that's only a guess.
As to the question about retaining the data, you can think of it as meta
data similar to what the cellphone carriers collect about cellphone calls.
They don't record and save you conversations but they do record information
about origination, destination,time, duration and type of call. This
information is collected and logged automatically in most cases.

I would not be too sure about "They don't record and save you
conversations" maybe not the carrier itself but someone else might be.

They sure do that, as it has value for network utilization, billing etc.
I bet (a small bet anyway) my cell phone carrier doesn't save receive
frequency data accurate enough to determine what direction I am driving
though.
Maybe they do though. We are considering similar functionality for the
Fox telemetry software, but of course we have a vested interest in knowing
where our spacecraft is.

If you WORK the satellites and would like information about rare grids being
activated, hard to find states and new countries on the birds,
then you might want to join a new satellite BB
