Badr-4 12563 V 27500 =64% SQ transponder has moved to Badr-8 now 84% SQ

 

[william-1]

My set up for this test 100cm dish + Edision Primo
==TDM (Télédiffusion de Mauritanie) is the 1st transponder to switch to Badr-8
=======Badr-4=========Badr-8 has started 25th Oct 2023
11938 H 27500 = 66% SQ=========
11958 H = 66%
11977 V = 77%
11996 H = 77%
12034 H no signal atm
12054 V = 69%
12073 H = 64%
12092 V = 52%
12111 H = 44%
12130 V = 56%
12149 H = 55%
12169 V = 64%
12182 H 16200 =40%
12226 H = 56%
12245 V = 0-52%
12523 H = 64%
12523 V = 56%
12563 V 27500 =64% ========= now 84% Badr-8
12643 H = 64%
12683 V =59%

I will update this list as the transfer of transponders move to the new satellite.

Currently installing some LNBs on a newly perched Wavefrontier T90 (centred on 16E, will be for another thread/post down the line), decided to try an old-school Inverto Black-Ultra single around 26E on the rail and the Mauritanian transponder mentioned in the Telecom Band was coming in quite well with by far the strongest quality signal (72% on a Freesat V8 Finder), the next strongest being the Qatar transponder on Badr 4 with 55-57% and others on the BSS band like Dubai One on 12130 V barely getting above the threshold to watch an error free picture (around 37-38%), with nothing else received on the Telecom band otherwise. Granted the Mauritanian mux doesn't appear to suffer from nearby interference from both Astra slots on 28E & 23.5E (though Flysat suggests a narrow data carrier on the same frequency on 28E), but if this is to be expected from the rest of the Badr 4 signals to be transferred over then it looks quite promising as to reception where I am.

However, I did notice in that peaking the 12563 V signal from Badr 8 seemed to suggest that it is parked slightly west of Badr 4 satellite, maybe about 0.5 degree west of it. Anyone notice anything similar?

Another one has moved to Badr-8
11996 H was 77% =====now 84% Badr-8

I will fully update the list later.

 

[cybertomanek]

The signal increased significantly

 

[danny10]

also moved according to me 12168 V..

 

[william-1]

I will check all transponders at FullTme of CL Football

 

[wellikan]

The C-band also switched to the Badr-8 satellite

 

[Lazarus]

also moved according to me 12168 V..

Hmm. Dead as a dodo here, despite the other two booming in. Is it still 22000 SR

[Lazarus]

12054 V s showing signs of life.

No issue here

12683V coming in, with the odd break up, though the GTMedia Combo is a single decimal positioning machine, when it wants to be.

[satelliclub]

Other frequency's has been switched to Badr 8 : 11747 V , 12169 V and 12476 V

 

[solly]

12169 V MOVE FROM BADR 4 TO BADR 8
11996 H MOVE FROM BADR4 TO BADR 8sate
12476 V FROM BADR6 TO BADR8
11747 V FROM BADR 5 TO BADR 8
1269H FROM BADR4 TO BADR 8

please upload table from badr4 and badr 5 abnd badr6 and to bdr8 pdf freuqncy table

 

[humaxboy1]

No changes by me, only many time confirmed 12563 V.

 

[Dušan Šmigic]

This morning...12476, no signal again

 

[ocean04]

No changes by me, only many time confirmed 12563 V.

Same here, no other noticeable changes
