26°E (Badr 4)

[Analoguesat]

That's a heck of a signal in your neck of the woods, AS. Is that on the Triax? Or one of the salvage Orbitals?

1m Orbital - it was new not a salvage job though. Main focus on 21.5E, lnb now affixed properly with an outrigger bar (cheap from ebay!)

 

[Analoguesat]

That is a good result, always had decent signal here too on 26e.

you could do with a couple of 1.2m dishes and see what else you can receive.

Not much else here - the dreaded trees block out many of the interesting slots.

I will put the C-band lnb on the Triax & try 46E & 49E at some point and see if I can get anything.....

Yup that one is new as of a couple of days ago

Have you had a chance to try anything there?

That reply was an error. Analoguesat had already posted it in New Channels.

 

[Analoguesat]

Doesnt matter ponti - Many folks wont have seen it in the new channels section.

Does anyone have any experience with this satellite in Central Europe: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia.

Currently good reception under clear skies of Badr 4. Im getting the Moroccan channels on 12683V on the FSS beam with decent strength.

I'm getting these as well. Not particularly strong but easily watchable. Not a sniff on the horizontal TP on the same frequency, though.

I get the H here, not strong but its there..

I'm using a 78cm that our neighbour gave to me at the end of the garden partially hidden by a tree. My wife is away at the moment and so I've put it up on the sly. When she comes back I'll tell her where it came from and hopefully she won't mind too much. Then in a few months when she's got used to it I'll swop it for something slightly bigger and hope she doesn't notice..... "Then* I'll have another crack at this satellite...

Just tell her it deters snakes ................

Using 1,5m PFA I am getting only 9 services from this bird. But on my new 1,8m offset Prodelin there are 176 services scanned right away.

139ish here during drizzle. Badr 4 only.

I have been scanning 25.5e The only transponder I have come up with is 12560H SR 2849 59% TANDBERG scrambled.It is listed on lyngsat badr 4 no details.

Tm 5402 HD 100cm dish.

^^

Yup thats Badr 4. Eute 25C only transmits up to 11700ish KHz

Its probably Al Mayadeen - BISS scrambled.

My that was quick. It was a blind scan so transponders from 26e were not unexpected.
