Indeed looks like Rugby. And the other some sort of radio feed for Orkney..

Are you looking at these off the 1.8 Chris ??.
Might have a tweek on the dish / lnbf, see if i can squeeze any more out of it.

Yes John, the 1.8 using the Inverto with the grafted Hughes feedhorn, seems to work well.

SMW dual scan 1.80m

SABC 1 from SA atm on:

21587 H 3300 2/3 DVB-S2/HD 8PSK

PS: No clear video on 1.2m (7.6dB atm).

 

[dx qwer]

On again, but too low signal for my 1.2m: 21573 H 7200 3/4 DVB-S2 8PSK

 

[dx qwer]

Now lockable on my 1.2m dish:

21580 4100 5/6 DVB-S2 8PSK

Okay, got it today with strong signal. TC in HD now.

/edit: Live for SuperSport from SA.

.. I do like the simplicity of that S3 Mini HD menu ;)

*Using the 21GHz Gilat scalar feed on the Band D XMW lmb gave about a 2dB increase over the Inverto Ka/Ku lnbf. Also changed the front cap for clear cap.
These two are showing up today ... 21.579H & 21.583H but no locks at the moment. Signals a bit unstable at the moment due to windy conditions blowing the 1.25 Gibby around.

23.5° East Astra or WGS1 satellite ?.
Three very weak Hor, i think, carriers sitting just above noise from the 1.25Gibby / Gilat feed / XMW DRO lnb.

Astra 23.5° East.
.. This bird is now becoming alive even more.
Low level carriers up at the moment but on / off nature are: --
21.491 H
21.493 H
21.494 H
21.488 H
21.489 H
A quick grab to show carriers up at the time .

John, they look more like narrow data signals than pure carriers

.. could well be G, "carriers" was just the first word that came into my head lol.

 

[s-band]

Found them. There are 4 but it may appear that there are more due to their pulse nature which will confuse the analyser plotting. The waterfall shows that the upper pair and the lowest one have a high duty cycle and 21490 has a duty cycle <50%. They are just visible on the CS scan.

Has anyone managed to resolve the 6? horizontal signals at the top of the band?
