Eutelsat 28A switchoff looming

[timo_w2s]

Well I really hope there are at least one or two 2G European transponders activated since they will be the only ones I will be able to get reasonably reliably in Helsinki on my 80cm balcony setup after 28A shuts down. All I'm asking for is one transponder so I can get a lock and view the existing recordings on my Sky box (Sky boxes won't let you do anything unless it has an authorisation signal from 28E). At the moment I can only get a few hours in the morning from a couple of 2E transponders that are still on FEC 2/3. Nothing from 2F. Nail biting stuff. ;)

I'm optimistic Timo that you'll get one of the D-types on the 2G PE beam, unlikely to find out until the 25th though.

the 2g it better coverage then 2e and 2f
new tp i got data serice it 2f uk beam ?
13.2db

new tp i got data serice it 2f uk beam ?
13.2db

Is this with 3m dish?

2E Middle East maybe??

Thats far too much signal for it to be a UK beam!

Is this with 3m dish?

it 3.8m

 

[solly]

it not pe beam on astra 1m wide i got 17.6db wide beam on astra 1m
so it play now signal

 

[solly]

also i got 11556h 15.2db
it 2e mid east

 

[Pietclock]

11171H is on 2C most likely....

11171H is on 2C most likely....

the astra 2c out of service

 

[Pietclock]

no it still carriers those data transsponders 11008V and 11185V ... and that other stuff I cannot decode. But the signal levels are all similar. Too strong for either 2E or 2F PE beam here.

 

[solly]

11008v
i got 7.8DB
11185v not signal

 

[solly]

11185v

 

[solly]

at morning i see 11055h but no lock here

 

[iandoh]

11972 V appears to be a copy of 11680 V. From signal levels I'm assuming its Astra 2E europe

tonight d7 to d11 move to 2g from eurobird ?

Is that a " Chess " quote?

Next transfer will be late evening of the 17th June C1 & C2 Transponders to Astra 2G
Current E28A beam - Quality readings TM5402HD M3 with 100 cm dish
11222 H 27500 2/3 = 10.4dB
11224 V 27500 2/3 = 10.9dB
11260 V 27500 2/3 = 11.8dB
11261 H 27500 2/3 = 11.3dB

Will like to see variance tomorrow after " change over "
