Yes, but surely a C120 LNB would be more suitable though?Many dishes above 1.8 are offset.
Es'hail 1 is slightly closer to Es2 at 25.55 E, or thereabouts, annoyingly the GTCombo does not have a second decimal point to give an accurate position so I've had to peak using the DiSEqC 1.2 fine tune for this satellite slotCan an admin or moderator please change the title of this topic to present the correct orbital position of Es'hail-2 ?
It is located at 25.8 East and not 25.5 East as currently displayed in the title.
Es'hail-1 is at 25.5 East.
Thank you

This is not a UK located DX'ers forum.Current 170 hour tracking data at the time of typing this message gives the approximate minimum gap between Es'hail-1 and Es'hail-2 at 0.26 degrees.
I suppose you could align the hourly intervals in a spreadsheet and get the co-aligned time orbital slot gap for a more accurate figure?

From a UK located DX'ers persepective, the Es'hail-1 orbital location position is pretty much an irrelevance, hardly anyone outside of commercial teleport stations or broadcasters can receive it.

Satesco is based in Romania, unless he has not updated his profile. The footprint margins are not so different.I did not say it was.
My comment was referring to the fact that for a UK located hobbyist DX'er the Es'hail-1 satellite is pretty much an irrelevance.
As satellite reception is location dependent, I think it is useful to qualify it with location information. Otherwise, fringe reception reports become meaningless.
