🔍 Key Concepts

• Shadowing of satellite antennas on ships and how line-of-sight to the satellite works • What shipboard actions can temporarily improve satellite line-of-sight without reprogramming equipment • The difference between equipment/settings changes versus ship handling maneuvers

💭 Think About

• Think about what causes an Inmarsat-FBB antenna to be shadowed and what could quickly change that condition using only the ship itself. • Ask which option actually affects the physical obstruction between the antenna and the satellite, rather than just changing modes or settings. • Consider whether any electronic "filters" or mode changes (TELEX vs voice) can remove a solid physical blockage.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly changes the geometry/relative position between the antenna, the obstruction, and the satellite. • Check whether changing Coast Station ID would have any effect on an antenna that cannot "see" the satellite due to a physical block. • Confirm that a physical shadow problem must be solved by altering the physical situation, not just software, IDs, or transmission mode.
