Dish size for.... Badr6 in the uk & europe

[guest poster]

Now that the dust has settled (hopefully) over these first BADR6 TP/ Channel changes, we're seeing really dead TPs from that bird - below noise - usually you'd expect to see a below lock / but above background noise signal - but there is almost nothing and worse than 7w H's.

So .. has anyone got a lock in the UK yet on a big dish on BADR6... ?

Ive seen reports that 1.5m is required in Bavaria. No signal on a 1.2m elsewhere in Germany (no exact location given)

with gregory 90 cm i have same transponder then with grgory 1,25m that means 1,50m is not enough!
you need 2 meter++

to reveive 11900 V for example!
the last 3 transponder in the lyngsat list also with gregory 1,25m no signal all other works find
this is only short channel list at the moment,i dont know when badr 6 will acticated more transponders and whats on there!

Thanks RD ....

...How does BADR6 compare with 7w Hs on that dish there?

We are about 100 miles further away from the footprint so it still could still be 2.4m here considering how it can drop off so fast going north like Nilesat.

how good is the signal in wales,on the analoguge channels in cband?
euronews etc?
how much treshhold extension do you need?
is there any difrents in the signal strenth day/night sunshine/cloudy weather?

At the moment i only have 3 dishes set up 80cm on astra 28.2 east and 2x prodelin 1.8m rdishes 1 on 7w and the other on 25.5/26 east,

The signal is fine on both 7w and badr6 and eurobird2 it is raining very hard here tonight and the signal from badr 6 is fine

Here's how the situation looks like in Italy:

Western Europe is extremely priviledged for Badr 6. I have not finished in doing research what's going on in Eastern Europe but can tell you that Badr 6 is very weak even in Northern Greece.

Looks like 11823v is yet another tp that's going over to badr6 but is still on its old tp and too strong for BADR6 only ... until it's switched off.

A member on DS has 11727h & 11804h as the stronger BADR6 tps on a 1.2m near Heathrow and our first measurements agree.

The strongest BADR6 tps here (mid UK) are:

11727h 30%
11747v 25%
11804h 30%
11823v n/a....
11843h 25%..
11862v 30%
11900v 26%.. new

For reference:
12183h was at 76% (max recorded peak 85%) 11919h was about 63% last evening test. All badr6 tps peak values only and are no lock on a 1.1m triax x tms 1000 x silvercrest (lidl) .2 lnbf x 30mt decent copper/ copper 100 cable...mid UK location - quite busy 26e line of sight ...trees/ roofs chimneys/ aerials etc.
39- 40% is usually lock level on the tms- far too busy to try it on other dishes/lnbs or even tweaking at moment and haven't tried for the C band yet either- again far too busy.

Judging by those peak values it might just be a do-er without going 8m.

On 1.20m only ?!!

 

[pride21]

hi deepbluesky yes thats what i said on a 1.2mtr offset dish and a 0.1 lnb

 

[deepbluesky]

50.3N and only 1.20m for Badr 6 !!

I really wonder if there is any other region on the same latitude that gets it so easily. Probably in the Eastern Ukraine but i haven't seen any reports yet from there.

Thanks for your very useful report pride21.

Thats really good going getting signal from BADR 6 on just a 1.2m dish, and in windy and rainy conditions! I get absolutely nothing with same size dish in west yorkshire, regardless of weather conditions!

 

[pride21]

here are pictures i got today with no rain

 

[guest poster]

Thanks for the photos/ reports... that 11823's high .. the others are about what you'd expect considering where you are....mind you it's lousy weather too

 

[deepbluesky]

Many thanks for the screenshots.
