Astra 2D

[Analoguesat]

Theres a report been posted on the sats.co.uk Facebook page that 2D is on the move. Can anyone confirm - n2yo hasnt been updated yet?

 

[hvdh]

Nothing foreseen on SES center-of-box either.

 

[Llew]

Astra 2D beacon (dish inclined ~2°). Trace of Astra 2E carriers of course, even at +2°

Slight beacon frequency shift in spectrum (BU LO drift)

Not much movement, maybe slight eastward shift from 28.2E.
