Advice Needed 44E (Astra 1F)

[Marcus_21]

Astra 1F to about 44°E, three are active carrier .... 11292 V 8000 3/4, 11392 H 8000 3/4 and 12099 H 8000 3/4...



...no channel is transmitted.



Telemetry of Astra 1F.

A mess-up again at Norad!
In the graph, it shows they lost track of Astra 1F since 11 Feb for 2 weeks, when the westward movement must have started.
And since yesterday, probably confusing Astra 1F with Yamal 402!

I can not use the Laminas right now (awaiting capacitors for the Dr.HD F16 PSU), but can receive these three strong transponders with the 45°E LNB of the T-55 !
Nothing at all with the 42°E LNB, so indeed Astra 1F will be located at about 44°E, and not on Astra's testing location 43.5°E.

 

[BlindFaith]

The NIT descriptor says Arabsat ;)

 

[hvdh]

Makes sense, there are several Arabsat registrations at ITU for the 44.5°E location!
And also on the Arabsat site.
Edit: oh, we had already Nimiq 1 on this location for Arabsat almost 2 years ago.

12098V & 11292V blasting in here - on my 46E dish!. No signal on 11391V

Elco's for F16 PSU arrived and soldered, so can use the Laminas again, signals seem to come from 44.5°E.
11292 V 8000: 19.3 dB
11392 H 8000: 18 dB
12098 V 8000: 19 dB

Note to AS: 11392 is H, not V
