Apologies if there are any mistakes or Ive missed anyone as its been done in a hurry. Ive ignored all the UK reports as any sized dish will be suitable here!

That's very good. The only one that has me confused in Crete.

 

[andrewcrawford]

No. It must be more North/South or there is no chance there would be any signal in Tenerife, and Trigger reported lock earlier today. Tenerife is 16.5ºW.

No.

as i say im crap at images your right the line shouldnt be there if you take your image and make red and black lines more close to the uk it sohould be more accurate

Lol OOOPPSS!

Ive removed the Florida entry - hadnt seen that one as I was concentrating on Europe...

My mistake




Once we open up the proper report section I'll do another one, and we will get folk to post their town AND their dish sizes so we can use a few more colours..

hi to all friends :-beer
this is for me guys with chmaster 3m from heraklion Crete
with dm800se
and the second with ebs u see the 11055 H no lock.

Looks like a very good dish set up then djgeo to get anything at all from your location

No.

There is no lock in Tenerife I have been testing since 1pm. Tested 3 dishes all 2.9 meter. 100% not working in Tenerife.
Maybe someone from Lanzarote reported a lock from memory but they have always been able to get a better signal that Tenerife. A few hundred kms east and more northern.

We are about 3db less than 1N. So no chance. Need a minimum 3.5 meter dish.

 

[daztfs]

Trigger in Puerto del Carmen Lanzarote. That's as Far East and as far north as you can get in Canary Islands.

Nothing new, just to confirm previosus info ...

In Gandia, around 60Km south Valencia close to the coast, 11023H is received in my DM800 as 10db, 1N was (and is) between 6-8db, 1.2mtr Tecalet offset.

 

[iandoh]

To update your map, Nothing here in Pärnu, Estonia. Then again 1N seemed spontaneous at times and would randomly fade in every now and then for a few hours.

Looks like lots of work.

Down here we've all got big dishes... but I can lock it on the Fibo. Not much margin though.

 

[pipino]

i think for the canaries your best way now would be iptv or intelsat if you get it where you are,, i still think the signal is far and unbeleivably too strong and we may see a heavy drop in the next hours

 

[daztfs]

Nearly 5db less than 1N.

So 2F is actually stronger for you?

alicante i would say 120 for a decent reception ..huevos like me uses a fibo dish that a 90cm with a front reflector ,perfom basicaly like a 120 ..but yes 120 ..up in valencia 80cm as some reported ...but no way it will stay like this the transponder is running on full gaz right now

 

[buckshee]

It does seem way too strong. I agree.
Is it normal though with a new satellite to be very strong for testing and then cut back. Signal level and quality in Ireland is 99/99 seems too much.

 

[lgrijander]

Yes, a bit ... just as a reference 10847V with BBC HD /BBC One HD comes at 8.5db.

i bet if you point a 10cm dish in the UK you will get it perfectly ..LOL
