How AM5 @ 140°E related to this thread? AM8 is still at 80.15°E in testing phase.

I dont understand... accroding tests they have chosen 10950-11200,11450-11700H/V range for Europe beam but 15W uses the same one. What is the point? Why not to choose 10700-10950 and 11200-11450? I am afraid it may cause some problems like 4W and 5W blocking each other in 11450-11700H.

P.S. check official Europe coverage map Экспресс-АМ8 (14° з.д.) and this one by one of feed providers http://www.romantis.com/en/satellite/coverages/am8

That is not telemetry the Express AM-8 (likely telemetry yamal 402).
Beacons 3850,00 R, 3850,50 L and 11199,50 R, they are beacons on station and will be turned on when they reach 14°W.
Unfortunately the telemetry during transfer/emergency... should be in S-Band.

Well, Marcus, you should be right, but here is my report:

Whatever it is, I can confirm, this is not 402, this signal is moving like AM8.
On the 22nd of october the signal was close to 66°E:


On the 24th of October the signal has moved to 60°E



Each of these reports have been confirmed by another DXer (@dx qwer ) .
Maybe not AM8, but for sure, there is a satellite which is moving slowly to the west since a couple of days.

Hi Feedsat_DXer, I checked and there is a signal at 3405,40 R where it should be the Express AM8.


There is also a similar signal at 11°W (Express AM44).


Probable telemetry of two satellites Express... control the course of the coming days, to check its path.

Close to 50°E, strong spikes of 49°E in blue

it close to yamal 402

[Marcus_21]

After following the movement of the telemetry signal to 3405,10 RHCP... seems confirm the Express AM8. Now is about 39,8°E....

The telemetry signal to 3405,40 RHCP, is the Express AM6.

Yes, very close to 40°E
