Turksat 3A East Beam

SatSearcher · 20-07-2008

Anyone had a go at picking the new East beam on Turk Sat 3A up yet? It's a bit stronger into western Europe than other east beams at this position. The 39dBW line crosses eastern Britain which in theory means a 1.5-2m dish is needed, but i've managed to pull in 1 channel on my 1.2m. Anyone else had a go? Frequencies to try are:

10970H 30000 5/6
11145H 5000 8/9 (DVB S2-8PSK)
11554H 2916 2/3
11576H 2400 5/6
11581H 4444 3/4
11607H 3750 2/3

That's impressive

Last time I checked lyngsat last week it were showing 1C. Have they made the switch ? I don't take much notice too much of this sat?

SatSearcher · 20-07-2008

Yes they made the switch a couple of days ago, Lyngsat seems a little behind these days, flysat is more up-to-date.

OK thanks. Have you seen any improvement of signal on transponders that are now on 3A in your region ?

**Turok** · 20-07-2008

very strong now here!
not all freqencys will be move to the new turksat 3a.the programs in 11.9, and 12 ghz freqency range,will stay on the eastbeam,and the complete old turksat satelite,will be removed to the other orbital positon @ 31 east .,like in the past!
does turksat 3a,also have any special spot beams?
maye the are not activated yet,we will see,what is coming!
at moment heavey raining here,not good for dxing...

Turksat 3A 'West' signals are coming in clean at 85 percent on Technomate receiver but obviously 2A 'West' are stronger, in fact 98 per cent and off the scale

No sniff of 'East' beam as expected

all the tp's

mentioned before by " turok "

is now receivable over central italy with 1,8 m fiberglass dish

with a percentage 0f over 90 %

probably some of these tp

are receivable with dish of 1 meter now ( east beam ) of 3a

before no trace of any tp with old satellite!
ciao

Paolo, 1m should be enough in Central Italy. In Arta/Greece a 75cm now gets all of 3A. Before 1C was rather weak, 1.20m was a must for full reception there.

**Turok** · 23-07-2008

hello!
when now the turksat 1c,and is moving to 31 east?

the freqancys from 11,8 ghz to 12 ghz range,will still stay on the old eastbeam of türksat 2a,this the information at the moment!

soon we see what happens on 26 with the new satelite

***deepbluesky*** · 23-07-2008

I haven't read anywhere that 1C will be moved for sure at 31.3E or 31.5E. It's still speculative up to now since Türksat 1B was moved there also when Türksat 2A started and since Astra 1D has come to its end of life probably Türksat 1C will take over for feeds. We'll see.
