Just a reminder, the sun interference cycle will be starting soon. But calculators to provide predictions for Ka-band are pretty scarce. But since WB1 and Anik-F2 are co-located, this one »https://support.telesat.ca/SunTransit/ should work just fine. Unfortunately, you'll have to convert the times from GMT to that of your own time zone.
Hint: even though the effects diminish as dish diameter increases, sun interference affects your gateway too. After you obtain the date/time predictions for interference at your location, replace your lat/lon with those of your gateway terminal. You're interested in how their interference affects YOUR location, so again convert GMT to your time zone. Don't know their antenna sizes, but I'm pretty sure they don't have anything less than 3 meters.
