Can some one check this transponder on 8'w (orbit)

Orbit have been having trouble on 8'w lately but for the last 2 weeks 10.972h 27500 3/4 has gone weak it use to just need a 45cm dish like 11.009h but 10.972h is very weak even on a 1M dish now here in wales

My System: I use a 1.2 Gregorian dish connected to four receivers including a scopus 4.2.2 professional ird2800 and Echostar3600 and two blind scan rx's. My lnb is a quad invacom. All rx's are linked to my packard bell easy one silver laptop.

OK here just outside Stoke, booming in on my Gregorian 90cm.
90% signal and 72% quality on my TM1500 super

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

OK here on my 80cm dish and it isn't spot on the arc at the moment, I'll take a signal reading tomorrow for you if you want.

My System: TM6800HD+TD110+StabHH90 motor,TM1000D+Orbital 1m Multifeed 16E,23E,28E.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox.

On my TM1000 in Kent:-
84% on 11009H
69% on 10972H, which is about what I'm getting on 7W, so relatively weak right now.
Edit:
Oh its jumping about quite a lot, between 66% and 70%.
