Advice Needed Hardest satellite

[Gladstones]

Hi Good morning
Couldn’t find the answer on the web
What is the hardest satellite to receive on 1 meter dish in the UK.

 

[Lazarus]

"in the UK" is, by definition, far too vague a location when discussing marginal reception.

However, in many parts of the UK, 7W and 10E don't yield much.

54.9e is a good one. Pretty low in the sky with one fairly easy transponder, there's also a couple more TPs that a well aligned 1m will scrape in.

Nilesat 201 & Eutelsat 7WA are far away from uk footprint even France is out of footprint. Maybe some possibility down in Kent on a bigger dish than 1 meter. I think in Scotland chance of receiving anything from 7W on 1 meter is impossible.10E is easy catch for me. 11628V3800 is 90% , few of the tps containing feeds are week tho. For 10E I park the dish at 9E & separate the TPS on 9E eutelsat 9B.

I can try this what is the easy Tp on 54.9

Is it Yamal 402 at 55E , European or Northern beam.

 

[ozumo]

Yes Yamal 402 Northern beam:
12654v 2800 Kuban 24 is the easiest catch
12531h 2500 radio transponder
12522v 27500 U-TV

5e Nordic beam may be possible as well:
11345h 30000 SBN International

Got them
I am having trouble to receive 3E tho.
becouse it’s too close to 1.8E.

Anybody receive 7w in Scotland on 1 meter dish.
or even down in England.

Nilesat 201 & Eutelsat 7WA are far away from uk footprint even France is out of footprint

I have picked up Nilesat on a 1 metre before. There was no lock on some transponders during the day but once the sun went down they came in. Don't rely too much on the published footprints. However, from your location, 7W is challenging...

I used to get some with the Triax TD110 (which is actually pretty much equivalent to a "somewhat better than average " 1m dish) but haven't tried lately.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ditto, in North Yorkshire.

5e not 3e

Good going on 55e, have you blind scanned it to see if you pull anything else in? Anything from the Russia beam would be mightily impressive.

 

[dickie1968]

7W 3 transponders at about 61% but about it 10E a few transponders at 55% but not much else

 

[WHATAGOAL1]

never got even a twink of a signal of Any satellite which has 3 digits i.e anything over 100 west or 100 east

 

[SatSearcher]

I get most TP's from E7WA here in West Yorkshire on a 1m, just a few of the 8PSK TP's that I can't lock. Nothing of course from Nilesat 201, that would need something gigantic! If you want a test, try the Amos Satellites at 4W, I can get a handful of TP's but they are marginal at best!

 

[Gladstones]

Will try them all let the weather get better it’s horrible outside in Edinburgh all day
Might have to tweak the dish for this challenge

Intelsat 18 has to be the hardest one to get in the UK


At 180E there is 12000 miles of solid rock in the way between us and it

That's straight through the Earth's core - so that's "12,000 miles of solid and molten rock (and other stuff)"

If you wait until it's out of fuel and is in *very* inclined orbit, then it may rise above the horizon. But easier to just drill through the Earth. Or move the Australia.
