Sama TV & Syria News recently relaunched on this satellite delivering considerably stronger signals compared to RASD TV.

Sama TV & Syria News have gotten weaker compared to last year, RASD is about the same.

Superstrong today.


Absolutely nothing for RASD TV 'ere in the UK.
I got a couple of sniffs that are quite a bit below a lock for 10715H @ 4.8dB (Sama TV) and 10718H @ 3.3dB (Syria TV) but thats all I could get to register using the Dr HD F15 receiver.

This ABS-3A at 3.0W is definitely not a UK friendly satellite for fringe MENA reception.
I have attached below a couple of screen grabs showing the miserable signal levels I am getting from the MENA beam.

Sod all here - I don't even have the satellite stored on my positioner.

I find 4W and move a few clicks east - hoping to be near there somewhere. Any European-friendly signals from 3W?

Only feeds..
 
Yeh NEP like to use it
 
Sama TV moved from 10.715 H to 11.465 H a couple of weeks ago and is now really "on the edge" with 9.4 dB needed for successful lock.

Current situation @ 3 West.
Sama TV on 11.617 H currently not lockable (FEC 5/6).

As the post title suggests - MENA beam.

No, (unfortunately) certainly not visible in the UK.
 
RASD back at 3W, somewhat stronger than before.
