Nice catch, my signal meter peaks a 6%Q but not a glimmer of a channel.

I used to get that frequency on the 1.5m but I have some branches growing over the top of the dish blocking signal from several satellites.

Last time I checked 11884 was coming in better than 12208, certainly time of day pending and conditions this one for me, still room for improvement the dish is far from lined up I am sure I can gain a fair bit more its not tracking properly for a start, I am going to order a digital inclinometer today.

Nice catch, Chris. This was a very temperamental satellite for me - didn't help the fact that the house was in the way.

Just under locking the channels in here, a bit of perseverance in the near future should do it, I will try a more sensitive box

Indeed Martin, after several months of absence, 11884 V can be locked again here too, with a fragile 4.8 dB.
