I can usually get most of the Amos 3 H channels OK where I am on a Gibby 1.25m - I check 11389H first, and work my way down from there. One that I can't get though is 11181H.

There was a few H TPs that would not lock Llew, 11181 was one of them, do you get the V TPs ok they come in stronger than the H at my location.

I was doing a few tests here tonight Llew, I was locking all the V TPs, but struggled with the H.

I could only lock 11303 and 11389 at the time of testing, conditions was overcast.

You're doing well though Martin, it can be a tricky one given the footprint, and considering your location.

Locking OK here with heavy clouds around - but dry.

Blind scan - verticals are generally a lot stronger than horizontals:

Er....forgot about that. In which case, some of transponders in my blind scan screenshot ARE probably from 5W.

No chance down here for Amos 3 at least with a 1.5 Dish. Amos 2 no problem.
