GSAT 15/17 @93.5E - DD Freedish DTH

I thank you for posting here,on a DX European forum,what you receive from this satellite at 93.5E, but I wonder what relevance does it have to us when you are right in the middle of the beam,that is India,New Delhi?Because you actually have a DTH signal there that you get even with small antennas.
That's why it seemed much more interesting to me when you wanted to receive a European beam from India,like 33.1E
Without trying to diminish your contribution, I would prefer to try to catch beams that are not destined for your area.Probably is not something new for you,but Europeans dxers make a pride to catch Asian spots,for which they invest material means and time to catch these spots.And I think the reciprocal is also valid for Indians dxers.
Without wanting to pull ashes on my cake,here I'm picking up some transponders on the India beam with the antenna of 150cm from my area.
Best regards

so you are getting 93.5e India beam at your place ?
If yes, then that answers your query right there !! If you can catch this beam, certainly places closer to India would also.... hence may be beneficial to other trackers on the forum.

Yes,I catch signal on Horizontal after lunch when it increases so that I can lock some transponders. I can not pretend to many because my antenna is small for an enthusiast.But with large antennas it is possible to receive more frequencies.
BTW,Here's what you/"other trackers" can lock and get at 93.5E with the 2.7m antenna in northern Europe.There are other European enthusiasts who catch this Indian satellite.In England you can't get a signal because the satellite is below the horizon,i.e. elevation is at minus.For example,in London,elevation angle is at -10.77°.In my area,the north-west of Romania,is at 5.13°.From this point of view,geography can be an ally ,and for others,an opponent .
I want you to catch a signal from our European area.But for that you need a dish bigger than 120cm you have now if you want to fish in other waters

Well, I have managed to track Eutelsat 9B, Eutelsat 16e, 7e

Agreed, elevation is a key factor. I have tall buildings surrounding mine, hence, it becomes a problem tracking lower elevation satellites.
Few have caught Eutelsat 3e as well in my place, but I m unable to do so, mainly because of its low elevation.

and Astra 4.9e BSS beam is also catchable here, but again, the line of sight has to be perfectly clear of all obstacles.
