As expected, there was a signal increase---though not quite as much as I
had hoped for. COD's reception improved by at least a factor of one,
and the switchover to SES-1 was blatantly obvious on their product
statistics reception graph for the NEXRAD part of the feed:

And, Jose Nieves documents the signal bump:

His realtime stats:

So all in all, I wish they would bump it up just a bit more, but this
did help significantly, as I thought it would. The slight drop in signal
in Jose's feed this morning is really just the noise floor coming up as
the sun rises.
