Channel on Eutelsat 7E

[Alidara]

Hi everyone
Can anyone receive either of these channels?
Tried with a 80cm dish from London but no luck.
Thanks

Those are on the Europe B beam which does not cover the UK, click on the Europe B link in the Beam EIRP column to view the footprint. A much bigger dish will be required to view the channels.

Where do I go to click on Europe B link and any idea what size dish will receive these channels

Under the frequency, if link is active. Also scroll to the bottom of page, and you will see Colour legend: (based on your location)

That's before you click on beam

It's hard to say but I've seen reports 10721H can be received in the south with a 1.8m dish, 11304H seems to be weaker so 2.4m or maybe even bigger.

thank you

What about 52.0 east? It seems to be an alternative option

tis true, forum member @s-band has recieved it on a 1.8 PF dish from around the London Area
I have received it here on my 2.2mtr PF in North Nottinghamshire ..... i'ts not an easy catch, requires a tad of skew adjustment and favourable weather conditions.
Just had a look for it here again but have no lock due to fairly heavy rain coming down.

I think a safe bet will be a 2.4m in London

10720H: On a very good day, I can just get something on a 1.5m PF with Invacom 031.


This morning I am only getting 5.5dB on the 1.8 vs. 7dB on a good day. Correction, 7.3dB on the 1.8m this morning, once I removed the soggy plastic bag from in front of the feed! 1 degree off skew will cause it to lose lock and remember that, like many Eutelsat craft, it's 3.353 degrees different to most other satellites.

10720 is the strongest on the Euro B beam, 11304H is sub-3dB on the 1.8 and needs a higher SNR as it's 8PSK etc.

I think a safe bet will be a 2.4m in London

for 10720 with a decent LNB, yes. However, for 11304 3-3.7m maybe.

Confirmed, I can lock BBS Persian on that frequency with a 1.5m dish 'ere in leafy Surrey.
It is not a lock all day, only part of the day. However, if I move up to "The Green Lad" (Precision 2.0m dish) it is permanantly locked all day, easily above the lock threshold.

You do not need a 2.4m in London for10720H, I got it locked solid 24/7 'ere in Surrey with a 2.0m.
It depends on the quality of the dish and the accuracy of the alignment.

I don't think it helps that the signal obtained in one area is valid in another. But clearly, EUTELSAT 7B doesn't have coverage on the island, if the satellite operator's map is valid.
And my area is a little bit outside this spot, it's true that it's not far, and often the signal is sometimes 6 dB on 10720 H, sometimes 8 and something with a 1.50m antenna now in the cold season.
Knowing these signal differences especially for the enthusiasts, I don't know if it helps, but it's good to have some orientation landmarks in the reception areas, especially since spot B is not the favorite of the European space.
The more reception/signal reports, the better.
