Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

[Gefiltefish]

Here in Granada, 1.3m dish and Humax HD Box. All BBC gone. Wife about to, too, I suspect when she finds out.


Analoguesat edit - map updated to here - I need a break!

I have had a report from a client that 100x110cm dish in Polop is receiving all BBC channel fine....

Here in Valencia I am still getting everything fine on my big dish - glad I did not change it when 1N started up! A few things to note though:

The Sky based channels appear to be much stronger now - in fact giving me 100% SS and 100% SQ on my Humaax Foxsat even with the attenuator in place.

The Freesat channels all appear little changed from before - i.e. now getting about between 85% and 95% SS and close to or actually 100% SQ which was never the case before.

Once things have settled down - I might try rigging up the 1.2 PF dish to see what it picks up. I had been hoping to take it down to Javea to use there on by folks villa but maybe its going to be too small for there now!!! Any Javea reports please!

Looks as if 2E has replicated 2F's hotspot around Valencia, along with the sharp null over Cataluña and the Balearics.

BBC rock solid in Javea on a 1.9

Early indications are that looks like it will be borderline...

But not as hot.
2F uk beam is still fine on my 80cm dish.
whereas
2E uk beam is just peeking thru on the 90x100 (1m) dish)

Interesting. in the last 5 minutes, all 2E uk beams have now appeared on the 80cm dish! Signal slowly rising!

Here in Madrid i note 2E UK spot a fraction weaker than 2F overall though Madrid is a hotspot relatively speaking for 2E as it is for 2F. a 1.2m dish has rain margin. Will check periodically to see how it gets on over 24 hours.

 

[Chaomino]

Anyone have reports from the North (Galicia, Asturias,Leon)?

I have had a report from a client that 100x110cm dish in Polop is receiving all BBC channel fine....

Yes, Polop will be fine on 110cm dish. But no headroom. Power level is rising now. Some transponders now possible on 90cm dish.

90cm dish:
10744 = 7.49 dB
10773 = 7.10 dB
10788 = 3.51 dB
10803 = 7.39 dB
10817 = 7.96 dB
10847 = 0.00 dB
10862 = 0.00 dB
10876 = 7.11 dB
10921 = 7.60 dB
10935 = 0.00 dB

Anything above 7.50dB watchable, but with occasional pixeling.

All BBC channels still on here in southern Spain (Mucia)

Signal level still rising. Almost at 2F level now.

Here's my latest signal graph,

Yep - the 80cm dish is getting the 2es as well as the 2fs.
So is this a daily variation (like 2d had) weak at night and strong during the day....
so now to monitor it during the evening and night to see when the cut off point is!!

 

[Huevos]

t the 80cm dish is getting the 2es as well as the 2fs.

Problem transponders on smaller dishes are going to be 10729, 10773, 10847, 10862, & 10921 as there is heavy interference from Badr5 on these frequencies. Dishes above 110cm don't seam to suffer so badly from this.

Does that mean that Carole Kirkwood will deliver the Weather Forecast in Arabic?

 

[Hug]
