Amos 7 (was Asiasat 8) 4W

[william-1]

Admin edit - this seems a sensible point to split the reception related stuff for Amos 7 A/S

Spacecom started commercial operation on satellite Amos 7
27 February 2017 16: 42.08 TODAY!
Israeli satellite operator Spacecom started commercial operation on telecommunications satellite Amos seventh spacecraft is parked on the position of 4 ° W, which replaces the outgoing traffic for the satellite Amos 2 , who worked at this location for 13 years.

The position of 4 ° W had during the fourth quarter of 2016 to begin commercial operation of the new telecommunications satellite Amos sixth Satellite during preparatory work prior to scheduled flight exploded Spacecom and therefore had to quickly find a replacement for outgoing Amos 2. By the end of the year, the operator agreed with the Asian operator AsiaSat on transfer and lease of satellites AsiaSat 8 .In recent days, this cosmic apparatus arrived at the target position of 4 ° W, where it will now provide four years of service for customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa under the new name Amos 7 .

10722H with info on screen

The signal has remained about at the same level as,say,two years ago.Here's a comparison between the two moments in time.
It's hard to figure out the differences of signal because I'm right in the center spot of the satellite,of 57 dBW.I find it normal that you have signal variations because you are on the edge or even outside the footprint.
So, I don't think they moved transponders on the new satellite.

All signals up another scan coming up

 

[william-1]

11543 H 3700 3/4 TVH was very strong 75% SQ but when I re-scanned it had vanished ?

100cm dish signal readings for Amos 3 & 7

 

[satesco]

Indeed appear differences of signal on some transponders,for instance on 11541 H,before-17.2 dB, now-22.3 dB!

 

[satesco]

11609 H,3600,3/4 has left the satellite.Probably gonna come back.So far no longer appears on the spectrum.

On screen messages now on these channels advising to re-tune:-

11609 H,3600,3/4 has left the satellite.Probably gonna come back.So far no longer appears on the spectrum

Indeed,11609 has returned.Here is how it looks this morning signal on the transponders at 4.0W.

Remember with these reports of signal strength variations, that the old Amos 2 is already inclined 0.5°.
With big dishes and without tracking, variations are to be expected.

 

[william-1]

10 842 H 30000 Amos-2 has switched off twice this morning looks like it has gone now no back again if this in the Amos-3 or Amos-7 beam it is not very strong here compared to Amos-2.

Amos-3 on the European beam is inconsistent with regards to signal strength there are 18 DTH transponders on the European Beam & I can only get 5 of them looks like 10722 H has switched from Amos 2 now.

 

[satesco]

10842 H is active in my area:

 

[satesco]

@william-1,Here's what the situation is now at 4.0 W,this time I used 110 cm dish.

 

[satesco]

On 12315 H pop up a fairly strong signal.So far hard to say what it is...

In fact STB pack move here-12314 H,15000,7/8-STB package

 

[william-1]

Good signal here with 100cm dish

 

[william-1]

Strongest transponders from 4 west.

 

[ocean04]

There are also crypted channels 11031V SR27500 and 11053H SR8518

 

[william-1]

12315 H 15000 down here atm it may have been just a test for full change over later tonight.

 

[ocean04]

12315 H 15000 down here atm it may have been just a test for full change over later tonight.

12315H is still fine here, strong signal
