46E (Azerspace 1)

[Analoguesat]

Azerspace 1 was handed over to Azercosmos yesterday having successfully completed it in orbit tests, and is now in full commercial service

Hopefully we might see some activity on 46E soon.

Shes a C- & Ku band bird so anyone with C-band kit care to take a scan?

In Ku the power over the uk is about 46dBW which suggests an 80 cm dish should be plenty.

Anyone getting 10956V? Nothing here at all.

If its on the Asian beam we wont have any chance of it here in north western Europe.

Not a trace of 10956V yet, all there is (for a long time already), is peaks about 8 MHz wide, centered around 10950 both H and V. Maybe telemetry.

I can't see 47.5E but can see 45e so hopefully I can see 46E

Nothing here either. Not even a slight wobble.

hi did a scan of this sat in c-band all i got was a couple of transponders with about 40% quality no lock so not sure if this is coming from this sat or not.

New test transponder in Ku band: 10973 H 28500 5/6 QPSK
There are 7 tv channels + 2 empty channels.
It is interesting, all of them are on farsi language (Iran), not on azeri (Azerbayjan). On the russian forum there is an info, this TP is refeed from Yahsat 52.5E.

Getting nothing here - which beam is this on?

 

[Analoguesat]

Nowt here either. Doubt its on the west / European beam

 

[Archived-1]

i am getting only 20% signal here far to weak for a lock.

cheers ---

 

[Analoguesat]

Very good indeed - well done lads. No hope for me on the scaffy old 80cm dish Im using for 36E - 45 E. I'll have to wait until summat a bit stronger appears .
