Hi, I’ve gotten quite interested in the sky satellite scene and have learned quite a bit now, but I need a little local know how.
Thanks for any help you can give
- Astra 2B Q: In the last few days it seems that the transponder feeding C4 etc has weakened yet the one feeding Sky Mix etc has got stronger – other channels have been affected too. Sky mix normally needed a 2.4m for good reception in the Akrotiri/Episkopi area now my mate gets it with a mere 1.8. Meanwhile I was getting C4 24/7 with a 2.2m dish and am now losing reception at certain times of the day. Is this due to local conditions eg Temp change, or is sky fiddling with the transponders/ signal strengths?
- Lacuna Meter Q: Having just acquired a Lacuna meter off EBay, and made a download lead (I have downloaded the North / South logs) I am now looking to calibrate it. Will the default setting suffice for this meter or is there a special setup for this region?
