55E (Yamal 402)

[Captain Jack]

Ahhh... didn't realise they were sharing a transponder.

There is also another Freq 12730 V 9560 2/3 8PSK where there is also Life News plus 5 other channels but Snr is about 8db with a 1.5 Dish. The other freq 12602 V is registering 14db down here. Can't understand why the operators of the Satellite allow clients to uplink
more than the specified international agreed power. Normally they immediately tell you off to reduce it as soon as their 'watchdog' equipment sounds the alarm of 'over threshold'.

 

[Captain Jack]

Don't know, zorbua. That frequency is showing signal but about 3db below lock

 

[hvdh]

As I said, the 72 MHz wide transponder is not fully used any more (for now), all power goes to 12602 V now, automatically.
Just wait until something comes again in the empty space between 12620 and 12660 V.


Edit: 11265 V 30000 seems to be gone now.
I'll do a blindscan in low band but fear the worst.

 

[Captain Jack]

Reports across Russia say that 11265v is still there but with reduced power.

 

[hvdh]

Thanks for that CJ, yes indeed, very occacionally the F16 shows something else than 0.0 dB.

 

[Captain Jack]

Another one to try... Signal here increased too (I can lock it!).

 

[Kveys]

Reports across Russia say that 11265v is still there but with reduced power.

Yes, I can verify that...

 

[hvdh]

Kveys I start wondering now, what beam 11265 V has been on before, and if it changed now.
11200..11450 is supposed to be Russian beam only, not covering NL, but this range is full of signals here.
Could it have been a different beam all this time, and 11265 V is the first on Russian beam "for real"?
Because the remaining bump is really weak here. In SE Germany it's also lost.
How does 11345 V compare for example? It's 6.5 dB now, a few dB below lock.

 

[Kveys]

Sorry hvdh, I am maybe last person here to speculate anything about Ku eastern satellites Last 1.5 years almost only with C-band and these are now my know-how about beams/strenght etc.

 

[hvdh]

Understood, but your quality reading of 11345 V 30000 would still be interesting!

 

[Kveys]

Here you are Sir ->

 

[hvdh]

Thanks! With 85% vs 65% at your place, I guess a drastically reduced power on 11265 V is plausible.

 

[Kveys]

What a coincidence! 11265V signal gone few minutes ago! I will make a blindscan...

 

[hvdh]

I must have noticed the same time as you, had my TV on with the F16 in spectrum mode, and noticed the little bump was gone.
...and BOOM, 11265 V is back and locking like before with 6.5 dB.

 

[Kveys]

...and now back (11265V)!??! Did they change PIDs or something, because channels back only after new search..?

 

[hvdh]

Not sure, I deleted the channels already, so just had to search them again.
How's your reading now? (I trust your word without screenshot this time ;) )

 

[Kveys]

How's your reading now? (I trust your word without screenshot this time ;) )

Ok, but this sure is funny. It is 85% now, should I go to sleep

 

[hvdh]

Yes you really should go to bed now, twilight will come soon there!
And I should go too, so good night.

 

[iandoh]

Signals booming in here. Also getting a bunch of channels FTA from 56e circular.
