Strong 4375 driving a 2.4 m Channel Master dual focus offset + Invcom Quad C120 K/U l.n.b. + BSC 421 and Zinwell C band l.n.b.,s - DR HD F15 - TM5302 - Octagon SX88+Optima - GT Media V7 - HD receivers. + other dishes currently in use - Antique 3.0 m Prodelin P.F. - Channel Master 1.8 m offset - Channel Master. 1.2 m.
My Location
North West Yorkshire - near Lancashire & Cumbria borders.
1 meter location Midlothian

A combination of dish size .. and a little too far north - .... i think it is probably just out of reach for you

i can receive the first 3 transponders that Moonbase listed - using a 1.2 meter Channel master offset, but only by a small margin here in north west uk today in poor weather ..... . no chance with 4th transponder on the 1.2 dish

So much better reception with this sat for you in the south :-)

I,m fully 2.0 db down on all those frequencies up here on the same sized dish .

Yes, location in the UK seems to be important for Amos 3/7.

I also managed to lock a Middle East beam frequency on 11062V, SR4500 at 3.9db even though the weather was poor.
However, that was with the Precision 2.0m dish and that frequency only needs 2.7db for a lock.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

There is a sharp drop of signal level to the north and west as per my footprint link in post 42.

The frequencies used by Amos 7 will be almost impssible to capture much beyond the middle of the country.
