Astra 1N - made it to geostationary orbit, now the fun starts

[Llew]

Nope. Can't see any obvious reason for them uploading out-of-sequence. Sorry mate.

 

[strs65]

It doesn't matter what the uploading sequence is. You may just insert them inline the post, in whatever sequence you like...

E.g. (1 - 6)





...and (7 -12)

 

[Llew]

Fair enough if you're taking the image from somewhere on the forum, but we don't encourage embedded images as invariably people upload them from a file holding site, and if they disappear from that site we get a post with a missing image.

 

[strs65]

Actually, I downloaded them and reuploaded them in my post (just for this case, as an example). Then I just used the "attachments" button to insert them inline, which I always use in my posts.

 

[Vipersan]

Well thats certainly a curiosity ...both me and Llew experienced the same anomaly
..
That aside ..
They are currently testing 10763H in QPSK ..and a wide halo at 11212 H

"Then I just used the "attachments" button to insert them inline"

...one by one, in the sequence I wanted. That's the difference, if you insert them all at once they will be out of sequence, the way the software of the forum wants them, not the user.

OK. I think the forum's software just makes a hash of it when adding attachments as thumbnails.

the signal of 11212h similar 11221h freuqncy like eurobird 28.5e

Upload them with the attachments button and then order them as you want them using the paper clip function.

 

[strs65]

Yes, that's what I said...

attachments button = paper clip function

5-6m! (on some hotels/pubs only of course)

This is one of those installations, a 6.2m east of Heraklion 4-5 years ago...

View attachment 37257

Wow, that looks a pretty professional installation, I'll have to see if our hotel have anything as big as that installed. I presume dish size is similar in Crete to what they have in Cyprus too?

Nice big spike at 11035V ...
Producing a Halo unmodulated carrier if left to build the constellation diagram ..
But caught this earlier in the build ..
Could be I'm misinterpreting but ...I suspect this is what a 16psk unmodulated carrier might look like..

...Just to clarify ..
When I say 'unmodulated' ....I mean not carrying any form of data ..
Technically the carrier _is_ modulated ..ie 16psk ...but nothing 'on board' data wise..
;)

 

[Llew]

Certainly taking their time with TP power testing VS. Surely they should be shifting soon to its new home?

 

[Vipersan]

..Lucky for me they repeated the sequence ....just before the constellation started to disolve ...
Managed to grab this ..
..much better image...

[Vipersan]

And it just gets more interesting ..
Still 16psk ...but some higher concentration nodes withind the modulation form..

[Llew]

I have that as a QPSK carrier VS -

 

[Vipersan]

Hi Llew ..
Yes it was briefly Qpsk ...I too captured that ..
Then it went back to 16psk as above ..

[Llew]

As an aside, I notice that scans are much faster withthe new driver 1.0.1.7

 

[Vipersan]

Hi Llew ..
Briefly all modulation turned off ..returning to an unmodulated halo ..
Frequency now abandoned ...nothing there ..

[Llew]

Yes, we await further developments...
