- ciarannolan 6y agoAh, okay. But there are stripes over specific areas of interest, like Canada and Africa. Maybe it's just coincidence that I looked at it when they were there?

There is always a generally high concentration of satellites at the northern and southern end of the range as a result of orbital mechanics though.
