Hi wod,

Nice, you must be using a large dish to pickup these ?

My dish is in my signature...

Fibo 1.20m x 1.35m Dual-Offset Gregorian Antenna (30.0°W > 57.0°E)

Best Wishes,
Zorch

 

[wod]

very nice, i hope you have that secured after the recent windy weather we have been having.

never had one of these but some say the 1.2m fibo is equivilant to a 1.4/5m dish.

 

[remlap]

Nice setup mate.

Guess this is a daily show, will give it a try tomorrow around 4pm, my location should be a help for my smaller dish since you're in the Midlands

Hi again remlap,

Have you managed to find this feed yet...?

It is active again ATM... I am still getting a really strong signal on this feed even though it's chuckin' it down with rain and it's also quite windy...

It's the same parameters again... Feed ID:sng-zeyad [VPID 3585/APID 3000/PPID 3585] but tonight the feed is for TV Libya... well that's what it says on the back of the cards the presenter is holding...

BTW
Last night 11.074V [2200] was also active... it was quite a weak signal and the feed was encrypted... so no pictures...

Yeah I am seeing a spike on my spectrum analyser but no lock though.

Ignore the title saying its 36e I just never bother to edit the default settings.

 

[remlap]

Edit Found it!

Please ignore it saying Yamal 202

BER not good but its not causing and sound break up so far.

 

[Zorch]

Hi again remlap,

Excellent mate... yes the feed is still active but it's only a black screen ATM... the signal quality has also gone down slightly...

Best Wishes,
Zorch

 

[remlap]

Yeah I've seen the drop I've lost 3% here and breaking up.

One of the best Satellite DX'es in a long time for me!

 

[Zorch]

Hi again remlap,

Pictures...

Think this is showing how good that Fibo dish of yours is mate.

Great catch and thanks for posting.

Cheers
