[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 788664, member: 325666"] ..fwiw I'm fairly sure I've discovered the source of this one anyway It turns out that Nigcomsat 1R currently parked at 42.5 East ..and supposedly inert atm ..carries 8 ka transponders .. it could well be in test phase ...and thats what I saw last night. 111219 16:41 NigComSat 1R Long March 3B Xichang 42.5°E 8 Ka tps and 14 Ku tps and 4 C tps and 2 L tps rgds VS to prove 'ish the above statement ...I temporarily popped in a ku lnb ....and located Turksat .. logged its position into the vbox for reference ..swapped the lnb back to the ka circular ..and scanned LHC the result is ..the TBS scan attached .. Certainly looks like it peaks at this location 42 East ...errr roughly.. ..other possibilities are Galaxy27 or Eutelsat W2M ...the latter is undergoing tests currently ..but seems a long way out ...but then I can't guarantee accurate lnb placement of the ka lnb ..for cenre focus ...it could be secondary lobe reception even.. ..also not sure what ka payloads are on these 2 birds ..if any.. ka info is scarce at best [/QUOTE]
