Can members kindly advise me what reception is like of the above transmission on 12722V SR 26657.The transmission is on PAS 7/10 68.5 EAST.I understand this satellite is very low on the horizon,about 5 degrees in the UK and a bit more in EUROPE.Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. | ||

| In the UK there are varying signals, not only down to the low angle, but another broadcast, same frequency, but on the opposite polarity, which is not truly 90 degrees apart. | ||
