This is a bit difficult to figure out. I have to move 0.15° when I optimize the Badr 8 from this transponder. With such powerful transponders it is always very imprecise where it comes from.

Still no observable changes to signal levels here other than 12563V going from "no lock" to 11db

12169V was turned off briefly yesterday, but signal returned as it was before.

Of course possible there is no difference between Bard4 BSS and Bard8 BSS beams here
