30.5E (Arabsat 5A)

[adonis1]

Anyone got a current strong frequency for this one I can have a go for?

The most powerful tp of Arabsat-5A @ 30.5° East it's : 10923 H 17000 3/4 (Saudi Arabian DVB-T Package) .

[Piltdownpaul]

Ive never had anything from this-even the North Africa beam only borders Southern Spain, this TD88 isnt going to to it.

Not even a murmur.

Hmmm ..this thread brings back memories ..most of them bloody painful..when I put my TD110 on the darkmotor at the apex of the house.
At least I had the sense to christen him Tom ..
The TD88 on the other hand is called Dick ..and the Famaval Harry..
Nothing more humiliating than getting a phone call whist you're up a ladder and yer dad tells the caller ..he's busy at the moment up a ladder messing with his Dick..

I have a lock on this bird atm, imn and mtv Lebanon.

 

[Archived-1]

A new lock for me here, imn and m Lebanon is an easy catch but i have never seen sudan tv from memory, it scans in as tx here not tv,

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Nope,nothing.

 

[Archived-1]

Nope,nothing.

I have it on the 1.2 Paul, its weak but a solid lock.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

The signal quantity drops down to 43% from the usual 45% indicating that the signal is there, but the SNR just sits at 10% steady (on the skybox F3), i'll have to try on a really clear day.

Conditions are good for me tonight Paul,

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Its not clear here,looking from my bed out the patio door.

The only TP I am seeing anything on is 12656V... Fibo 1.2m

Had a go at Sudan on 30.5E with my 1M Dish and although I have it stable at 65% Snr on a Clark Tech Rx it has to be tuned really well

otherwise the slightest fine movement either side and its gone. With a 1.2 Dish no problem at all.

I can't find this satellite (if it should be possible with 150 cm dish in the west of the Netherlands).
What would be the best (strongest) signal to align the dish at?

Hi Captain Jack. Was wondering which of your receivers is illustrated above?

Hi Lexzie, 12656 V 1660 12526 v 2500 are easy to catch in my location 1.2 dish, give it a go on a nice clear day/night, you should be able to lock this,
