EUTELSAT 8 West B

If you have these levels in Malta being into the footprint with 1.50, I could only imagine how sharp this beam is!

The levels down here are in the region of 41 (in the morning) > 42db in the evening.
 
I still can't get over the fact that I'm on null with this satellite, being so close to the end of the official footprint! I can only receive the feeds on the European beam. For instance the MARQUER card on 12585 comes with 9.4db! My DM800 shows an intermittent lock on 12603H with no signal, meaning that the motor stops while searching for signal but the levels are 0%!

Looking at that MENA footprint, there's an interesting lobe which includes Paris...

Actually this is the original footprint published by Eutelsat for about 2 years ; which was changed 2 months prior to E8WB launch in which that lobe was removed ; yet many people - including me - think that the old map is the real map ; confirmed by the strong reception in france and Belgium.

Yes agree with that without the lobe in the downlink transponder I do not think I will receive these signals in the East of England.

Surely the sidelobe is in real existence since we can get MENA beam on relatively small dishes in the south of UK?
