Finally, some time to play satellite DX and I'm catching up on C band. Arabsat 5C at 20E is a new catch for me and I'm getting six transponders, 3707R, 3711R, 3884R, 3913R, 3934L and 4054L.

One mystery I do have is further east, I'll attach a screengrab from Crazyscan to show what I'm getting, unfortunately nothing is strong enough to lock. I've had a look down the dish using dishpointer, done some sums using the Vbox display and it seems very close to 30E, there doesn't appear to be anything else near 30E on C band but the peaks I'm getting don't correspond with Lyngsat, Flysat are better at listing data signals but the website appears to be down this afternoon. Could someone check 30E when they get a minute and see if my humps correspond with anything on it, ta :-righton

The mystery signals out east and SSTV on 20E with some top technicals :D

According to Lyngsat Arabsat 2B has just slotted at 34.5E presumably to reserve that slot. Could you be round that far?
