The band looks awfully busy at your location.

 

[satesco]

Very strong signal in my area on 11613 H.

 

[satesco]

11692 V has been activated

Another one activated at 11224 H:

It cant be a coincidence that most of the tp's being lit up so far are in the the remaining Eutelsat 28A band.....

A correct observation. To that I thought myself when I saw them.

Repeating the ranges as listed on tsenki.com:
7,250–7,750 MHz
10.70–11.20 GHz, 11.20–11.29 GHz, 11.45–12.19 GHz
18.85–21.20 GHz, 21.40–22.00 GHz

Let's see if indeed the range 11.29...11.45 remains untested...

I'll start a spreadsheet at home to try and track whats being tested from reports and post periodically.

AS, is it time to open a new topic now testing has begun?

 

[satesco]

11264 H is activated now:

 

[tempo]

It is surprise for me, but I have strong carriers inRussia too
All previous Astra tests at 43.5°e were very weak here.

Before we all get too excited, anyone got 2E data to cross reference? ( Always the pessimist, if the spot beam is lower, " GAME OVER " !

 

[satesco]

11224 V on:

 

[tempo]

11224V in my location

 

[satesco]

The weaker signal at 12474 V:

 

[tempo]

Can't confirm. Also 12474 V doesn't match expected frequency plan.
Maybe beacon?

 

[Anonymous_1]

11955 H 11115 V 11225 V

 

[Anonymous_1]

12300 V, not in the frequency plan, but active (weak)

 

[satesco]

Perhaps,because after scanning the signal disappeared.Around this time started a new transponder at 12655 V, which is on Astra 1F,but also this transponder left.So far this transponder doesn't really exist.There are tests on Astra 1F?
