Hi friends ..
Could someone confirm this channel has 'left the building'...
It _was_ the only marker I had at this location on the arc ...and looks to have shut up shop ..
I used to get a very healthy signal from this one transponder ..but now ...nothing.

I have moved the actuator slightly to compensate for wind movement ..and was in the process of resetting the vbox positions ..
all are back except this one ..so the marker was important ...plus the content was usually in English which made it a bit more interesting.

Yep ...still listed at all the sat sites ..
..and was there yesterday ..or certainly the day before ..
Can't find it now though ...so if its gone down ..then its recent.

Thanks for checking Nelson ..its appreciated ..
AIT National is a no-no for me ...as ever ...so I guess I've lost my marker

Hi Edgar ...
Have they significantly reduced power then ?
The vanishing act as far as the UK is concerned was very rapid ..
Here one day ..gone the next ...and has been producing a 6db signal on my F15 for over a month ..
something must have changed significantly ...as there isn't even a trace here.
Perhaps the transponder is steerable ..and has been redirected to tighten the beam ..
I'm definately at a loss to explain this one ..

Hello Vipersan,

I can´t say, if they reduced power. With F16 and 4.9m I get 12.2dB.

Good Luck!

Best regards
