Thanks for these findings so far! Very nice to see You (and your big dish) here and hope we will get many new findings in the future, specally from C-band!

It's still the satellite that eludes me. I can only lock some data transponder on it...looks like 1.8m is the minimum required for this sat

I haven't had a sniff on 18w in years.

well I thought I would have a go on this sat before I altered the dish I did not have a hint of a signal well I was surprised when I got ZBC at 3.2db

@pride21 : very good fora small antenna !


The weakest signal @ 18°W is 4026 R 9036 5/6, it was possible to lock it during few days when the FEC was 3/4 in february 2015.


@nelson_b : can you chek this frequency 4026 R 9036 5/6 with your prodelin ?

Nice one Pride -

[pride21]

hi nelson ebonylife as you say gets stronger in the evenings also tried this channel earlier this morning the transponder locks ok but signal not strong enough to resolve picture,late last night the gain went up to 9.7db.

Today's scan - nothing but data:

 

[pride21]

hi CJ you must get the racing channel on 3961L 2960

 

[Captain Jack]

Something tells me my LNB is deaf at higher frequencies on left polarisation...

 

[pride21]

have you another lnb to test to see if its faulty

 

[Captain Jack]

I do ... but will try later

 

[Captain Jack]

I wonder if my either TBS card is fked or what but I am getting 8dB on the F15 for the racing channel (and NTA is coming in well on 27.5W too).

Need to investigate.

 

[Captain Jack]

Ebony Life is at 6.3dB this morning but I hear it's stronger in the evenings so will try then.
