Hi all ,
Eutelsat Hot Bird 13A ( formerly , Hot Bird 6 ) is about to enter its final orbital position at 8ْ west , and when this get done , it will be renamed to Eutelsat 8 west C , it will support Eutelsats expansion at 7/8ْ west .The satellite is currently at 7.81ْ west and still heading towards 8ْ west , it is estimated to take 5 hrs to reach there .
 
Some Channels were shifted there from 7W quite recently too.

Maybe there's a grand plan to consolidate 7W and 8W into a single cluster, getting shot of older craft?
 
satellite arley morning to 8w
must old 8w got mer 16gb to 18db

we waiting to switch tp
 
Are they going to move the services currently on 8west to the new Eutelsat 8 West C?

Dear solly , Ive heared that test carriers appeared on the vertical transponders from 11033 to 11198 for a short period , any confirmation ??
 
11054 H and 11137 H have been moved to E8WC , the signal is huge here in the middle east .
 
Nothing here in the UK. I presume the 2 transponders mentioned above are still on??

I get 11054 H & 11137 H at 16.0 db .
 
Anyone found a footprint map for this satellite?
 
I think that it's M. East ? footprint and not European .

I also get 11096H (provider EF30k/E8WB with 28 channels) at 17.0 db with F15 .
