Wrong satellite !!

yes , that snap was shared just to clarify that all satellite which are in orbit circulate with the speed of 3.07 and that's normal speed

 

[Europesat]

Now stop @ 1.9 e .... where the final tests taking place

 

[Europesat]

Lyngsat added hotbird 13f to the list @1.5e

1.5°E​

Hotbird 13F (moving west)

Shouldn't it be moving EAST?

Thanks

Just an observation over the last few hours .....
The 1.9°East beacon 12496.50 circular as a reference point, Hotbird13F is very slightly away from the 1.9° E position at about 1.5°-1.6° E for a guess
Hotbird 13F Marker 12501.75 appeared to be Hor polorised on the grab earlier this morning .
There is also a marker at 12500.00 Vertical showing.

From the measurements I made yesterday, using the Eutelsat 3B (11699,80 H) and Thor 5 (11701,00 H) telemetry signals as a reference. Counting the actuator pulses against the telemetry signal from the Hotbird 13F (11701,70 R)... it appears to be around 1,2°E.

Yesterday the telemetry signals changed bandwidth, going from about 200KHz to 600KHz.
Today I noticed several tests on the telemetry frequencies, with different switching on and off:
The 11701,70 went from the RHCP circular polarity to the horizontal linear one and then back to the circular one, for some situations it was also turned off.
Turned on the 11704,60 in horizontal polarity and was subsequently turned off.
The 12500,00 LHCP was also turned off for a while.
The 12501,70 was first turned on in vertical polarity, then switched to horizontal polarity and then turned off.

grate photo of beacon test intersting will be signal wide or super bram

 

[mianabid]

I don't think so that there will be any change in coverage

Thank u for sharing these screenshots..
My question is can i lock these tps with normal setup box???
Highly appreciated

I tried with my 180cm motorized dish no lock... even though i lock all 13e Birds with same antenna

 

[mianabid]

how long testing will remain intact on 1.55E

it seems it will stay for a while on this location

anyone share past experience and behavior

Tonight the first test carrier appeared... In full band on the frequencies 10719 V, 10775 H and 12577 H. Then with narrow carrier always on the frequencies 10719 V, 10775 H, 12577 H and with the addition of 12673 V.

how is the signal strength

 

[solly]

it look it work frequncy of 13c
