M8 T1 OK in West Manchester with a Fracarro Penta 85cm.

Nice strong signal 24/7.

T1 beam strongest from Thor5 for me, Nordic,Central and Eastern beam weakest but still receivable 24/7.

Yes i get Thor 3 too. Some Thor 3 frequencies drop out in heavy rain, but otherwise i get between 50-70% signal on Thor 3 and 90-100% on all other beams.
