I have checked Lyngsat-Maps, as per Maps Atlantic BIRD 3 & 4 covers most of the part of western india . Is someone getting signals from Atlantic BIRD 3 & 4 (5 & 7 Degree West).........

Thanks

Hi Santosh!

I am in Bangalore. I was also wondering whether or not I can be able to receive KTN (Kenya) on the panatlantic Beam of Atlantic Bird 3 at 5.0°W?

**Analoguesat** · 19-03-2008

KTN is on the C-band beam which looks like its just out of reach of Bangalore due to the satellite being below your horizon:

(change to the C-band beam)

From that 5W is only available to the extreme western parts of India.

I am not sure it is receivable on 8 feet dish due to the fact that it is located extremely below horizon.Some things are good in theory...
Normally ,we get 40 degrees plus or minus channels from our location.

In Gujrat we r getting Till 7 Degree Means NILESAT 101

i capture Atlantic BIRD 4 my 90cm mcb ku band dish ,all signal is powerful. i live porbandar city.

**Moradabad** · 19-05-2008

in Gujrat u can receive many sats

**srei** · 20-05-2008

Pl.report regularly if you get consistent signals.other satellite enthusiasts will certainly be encouraged.

Is it possible to receive the atlantic bird 4 in indore (M.P.)????? How much size of dish is required to receive????????? there must be some chances??????

**Topper** · 23-12-2008

Why not have a look at the theoretical footprints for AB4 wide beam and decide for yourself, it would appear to be on the fringe and as to whether you will be able to receive it will be dependant upon the size of your existing dish

Thank you, for your response..... but the footprints does not cover the indore(Lat: 22.73 & Long: 75.87),,, it gets finished before the indore......that's why i was asking the possibilities of receiving from it...... i am thinking to buy an 120 cm dish........ is it sufficient???????

Hello

In my experience this bird can be tuned if you have a 6 ft and above off set dish . I will let you know about the receiption of this sat in few weeks ,since I am in the process of installing a motorised off set dish for tunning various sats.

No not from what I can see, with fringe reception the bigger the better but practical experience is the only way forward when dealing with fringe reception issues as what works for someone in one location may not work 10Km away

Yes Topper exactly but as far as Hotbird Eurobird Eutelsat we can receive all these KU satellites only we shold have 10 to 12 feet good dish

hello Moradabad

I did n't tried ,busy with the motorised dish fabrication ,which is almost over.The AZ and EL mechanism is being corrected ,after dish balancing will do the trial and let you know the results.

Do you mean its below the horizon? If so theres nothing you can do - its out of reach to you.

oku · 14-01-2009

**srei** · 15-01-2009

Thanks for your response...... I have made a new forum of my for indians..... _www.sattracking.co.cc ......... i am thinking to buy an 6 feet portable dish (6parts) solid dish.....is it a good decision?????? which sats can i get on this dish??

**srei** · 22-01-2009

This forum serves all satellite enthusiasts including Indians and neighbourhood.The size 6 ft is good for beginners,insufficient to get russian satellites e.g.Yamal @90E in most (parts) of India.
