BlindFaith, where are you?

So the last carrier from you seems to be 20dB more than the previous ones you posted. Would you say that was a full power transmission, comparable to other PE beams? Or still weaker?

Off again. Apparently the high power mode lasts only for few minutes..

12324V still on

Maybe they don't even change the power but just transmit a very narrow band carrier ;)

Blindfaith could you kindly tell us where in Europe you are to help us orientate ourselves when evaluating our own signals etc.

Cheers

Blindfaith thanks. I have relatives who live not too far from you. Looks like you are going to be in a good position for future 2F reception anyway. Thanks for your data ......

Solly, what does that mean? Would you say it is UK beam as you were using a 1.2m dish for the transmission on 12185H?

Anyway at last I can see a transponder that is well above the noise floor. Was starting to worry for a while.

First of all, when positioned on another position than intended the footprint will be different. I presume that on a position east of 28.2 the footprint will shift somewhat east as well. Furthermore when the signal can be received in Israel than I'm 99% sure that the Pan-European is being tested.
