[QUOTE="Satfaca, post: 1103655, member: 297203"] Folks, I've cought something very interesting a few steps further west from SES 14 @47.5W. I reported the mystery on a couple of other forums but so far nobody else has been able to observe the same. There are three quite strong carriers receivable in the 12 GHz range. I was able to lock 12.390 the other night, unfortunately being short 1 dB ever since to be able to reapeat the success and observe/research the mux further. The other two carriers are 12.282 & 12.431 and are another 2 dB weaker. Lock comes with 10.6 dB (DVB-S2, 8PSK, 8/9). I've been using 2.4m PFA, unfortunately some tree obstruction prevents me from better signal. I cannot cleary determine the polarity but speculating this being an Echostar satellite, it could well be RHCP, at least I need to rotate the polarotor some 30° from Horizontal. Can anyone of you in the UK (or elsewhere) track this signal or maybe tell with certainty what's being received? The above mentioned frequencies/tps match perfectly with the common US/canadian DBS tranponder layout seen on Echostar and/or Nimiq.[B][ATTACH type="full"]134186[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]134187[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]134188[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]134189[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]134190[/ATTACH][/B] [/QUOTE]
