Activated beacon on-station at 3°W frequency 11450 RHCP
The testing should begin shortly...

 

[Anonymous_1]

C Band Beacon 4194.5

 

[Marcus_21]

First test carrier, frequency 11500 V

Seems to me that I receive first Ku-band test carrier 11490V.
Please anybody confirm.

P.S. OK, Marcus was the first

 

[tempo]

Now all Vertical Polarization transponders in 10950-11200, 11450-11700 and 12500-12750 MHz subbanbs activated. 3 Tps in each subband, total 9.

Anyone know the lead country for this new satellite and where it is controlled from??

 

[hvdh]

ABS » Tracking Telemetry & Control
Primary TT&C uplink center seems from Phillippines. For 3°W, I guess RSCC (Russia) or Bahrain will be used.

ABS » Corporate Overview
ABS » Contact
Headquarters in Bermuda.

The ABS-3A satellite is licensed and registered by Papua New Guinea.

Thanks FS, locking this here .

 

[Kveys]

Thanks Fs-Dx! 7.7dB here (125 gibby).

 

[pride21]

thanks FS getting it at 69% quality.

Getting 60% SQ on the 1.2 CM. Would guess this would be on the Middle East beam as the European Beam looks from the charts to be really strong? Any thoughts?
