If "Morrow/New America" has massive resources before the war, and they knew the war date (as Morrow did) they could launch a satellite before the war and have it "fail". With plans to activate it after the worst of the emp is over.

I had planned for a "failure" which led to a pause of the deployment of a 3 satellite cluster (similar to what sirius radio does).

This satellite track was developed by the Soviets for a potential of continuous monitoring of North America. It was never used in the cold war as far as I know so it should be clear of debris.

Here is how the coverage would look.


Again if M/NA has significant resources they could try a post war launch (obviously planned pre war), but it would be far more difficult as they would not have access to ground stations and communication satellites to assist in the proper orbit maneuvers.
