According to the last TLE, Express-103 sat is now stabilized on GSO at 102.9e position, ready for testing.
Unfortunately, I can't monitor the testing of 103e, since there are obstacles on the way.

11668 V-test carrier now

 

[tempo]

Well, they've started to test C-band transponders now.
3825 L is active atm, the bandwidth is around 50 MHz (received in Belarus, not my info)

P.S. There is Left Circular polarization on both plots, since a single-polarization LNB is used there.

The testing at 103°E seems over, Express-103 started drifting a few days ago and should be at 96.5°E on March 8.
I'm curious if the name will be changed there!

Transponder tests activated.They appear and disappear after a while.(all credit goes to @wellikan.Thanks)

Express-103 did not stop at 96.5°E as was expected.
Maybe it will continue to 90.0°E, which is a slot shared by Gazprom (Yamal) and RSCC (Express).

Correction: Express-103 has actually stopped at 96.5°E on March 8.
Apparently a swap happened for several days with another nearby dead satellite.

Here We go, North West Poland

 

[dreamsat]

yes, here also

 

[MCelliotG]

Yes!!!
The signal is fairly good in my location, considering the alleged footprint!

 

[satesco]

In my area is also really good signal from the Express-80.

Here We go, North West Poland

In my area is also a really good signal from the first transponder activated at 80.0E

Now the snow is off the antenna. The values are significantly better.
